Huh, surprised nobody has mentioned Tuta Mail yet. Cheap monthly and annual plans, hosted Ex-US.

Plus I have a domain, forwarded through my tutamail account, so I have unlimited email receiving addresses, at-will. :)

No fascism, no privacy violations. I'm annoyed they don't support external clients and the mail rules are fairly limiting, but for my purposes it's well worth the costs.

Built in calendar also can import ICS files and it has effectively replaced Gcal for my own personal private use.

Infinite aliases are great. I have an address for every company, and that keeps my inbox very clean and tidy. If one of them turns out to sell my address to spammers, I will know exactly who to blame. It’s also trivial to set up a rule for deleting everything that is sent to that address.

Yes!

Domain forwarding with a wild card should work with nearly any email provider vendor worth their salt, but I was glad to find Tuta does exactly two things and does them reasonably well, and at a price I can accept.

Degoogling has been a two year journey and I'm about 90% of the way done, but only my legacy email are driving me back to Thunderbird on select systems and someday I'll get to actually delete my entire Google account.
