Email Alternatives to Gmail (lemmy.world)

I'm in the process of getting rid of as much Google-related stuff as I can. Yesterday I already started with moving everything I had stored in Drive (backups and other stuff) to my Nextcloud and the like. Now I want to change my main email, the one I'm going to use for, my accounts here in the fediverse and so on. So I'm looking for alternatives.

At the moment, apart from Gmail, I also have an Outlook (from when it was hotmail), a Proton account (though in view of their CEO's recent statements I may not keep it) and a new one on Disroot.

Which of the aforementioned services works best for a normie not well versed in cybersecurity like me?

Do you know of any alternatives I'm not aware of (I've heard of Tuta, but nothing else)?

Still 10 times less fascist than Google.

Andy Yen is also Pro-Ukraine, Pro- Hong Kong protesters, anti Russia censorship.

(And I think he donated money to Ukraine during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine if I recall correctly)

Andy Yen said stupid things, but he isn't American to know the fact that just because Democrats suck, doesn't mean that Republicans are any better. Its not like Andy Yen went full "Elon" mode and seig heiled, Andy Yen is a right-wing Libertarian that have no idea what he's talking about.

That's enough for me to leave. Add on to the fact that Proton has been severely mismanaged since its inception. He'd rather prioritize crypto wallets and shoving AI into email than getting basic shit working.
