Try posteo.de - pretty high-ranked in Privacy and costs just a buck a month, which ist fair and payable even by post last time I checked - you charge your Account there in advance. And you get to choose alias E-Mails in many different country Domains, which you can also send from, but only the first two extras are free, rest ist 10cents/alias/month. I now spend 2 Euros/month in my Mail.
Moved calendar and addressbook there from Google as well, was pretty much painless, but not automatic. I am using these Apps with it: Thunderbird, DAVx5 from f-droid, FOSS calendar App, ...
Thanks for the tip though. But AFAIK if these servers are in Germany the amerikaner schweine can still get to you, but the whole ethos of the company seems very cool.
I'd rather just get a hard drive buy some weed and waste a bunch of time configuring my own email. Paying for a domain only costs me 10 euro a year. I've just been lazy I basically don't use my email for anything anyways.
