I'd like to move off from the shackles of the Google menace and transferring my Gmail related accounts over including steam but I'd like some solid advice of any well regarded and better alternatives (including open source if that is possible)

I did search but was unsure of what was best as I did hear some shoddy things about Proton.

Do you know anything that could be the "aegis 2fa" of email providers?

Thank you and have a good day/night.

Bad news, privacy is sadly political. When you build your brand on "trust us with your sensitive information" it's less than ideal to align yourself with the "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear from privacy invasion" party

Can't remember what big platform provider, maybe Google, was giving out personal info to the government just because they were asked (i.e. no warrant given).
