Fastmail and proton mail are usually recommended when this question comes up among technical groups.
I use Proton as well and it’s been great, but setting up their bridge for IMAP access in a way that worked for my setup was needlessly annoying (run on a headless server and access it from other devices within the network and docker containers on said server).
I use Posteo myself. Similar to Mailbox, $1 a month and I haven’t had any issues.

I’ve been using Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook but there is just so much spam that comes through.
I’ve just moved from outlook to my own domain on proton. Mainly due to spam. The spam filter just wouldn’t catch it and it was all really obvious shit with the same titles, constantly coming through regardless of how many times I reported it.
I’ve also been using Gmail since it launched. I support the privacy movement and agree with concerns around their usage of users’ data, but I’m just too far dug into the Google ecosystem and too dependent on that particular email address for all my sign-in stuff where I don’t want to spend the time migrating somewhere else.
Can you not set up a redirect from Gmail to your new address?
Protonmail and Tutanota are my favorites
If you want to attach your own domain, I’ve been using Zoho and having no significant issue (although I haven’t really tried anything else). Otherwise, Apple’s seems to be the best value, surprisingly?
I’ve been using mailbox.org for years and they’re great. I also like that they are following both German and EU rules/principles
Also using for many years with custom domain. They also support Caldav/Carddav which is great for using with software like Thunderbird.
If you Google it, you’ll see that it’s Gmail.
Hope I was able to help.
You are welcome.
Condescending and a terrible answer!
You are right.
I should add that, if you Bing it, you’ll see that it’s Outlook.
Now that’s a proper answer!!! Google is for college kids, real workers use Microsoft.
You are welcome.
