I would highly recommend protonmail. I am surprised with the top comments recommending fastmail. Is there any offering or feature I should know about with fastmail compared to protonmail premium?
I've been using fastmail for the past 3+ years in an effort to de-google my life. It's been excellent, and I haven't had any issues with emails I've sent being classed as spam.
By the way, it is possible to sync the calendar and contacts with your Android phone using davx5 (available for free on F-Droid)
Like several other commenters I find Fastmail to be a good email host. They support custom domains, have support for email aliasing, is easy to set up and provide a very good web UI. Unlike gmail you are actually able to select all emails in an inbox and apply actions to them.

2. I'm still paying Protonmail because their export tool doesn't support Linux and so far I can't be bothered.
3. Not being able to use different clients is a bummer. Obviously it's because of their encryption which is nice but overkill for my needs.
Happy with Fastmail here as well - but if you're using your own domain name & are concerned about being flagged as spam, make sure you read up on how to add SPF and DKIM records into your domain DNS records. It's pretty much essential now for functional email. SPF & DKIM are basically a list of IP addresses you authorize to send mail in your name, and a public key for authenticating/signing your emails. Since you're…
Most important is to use your own domain name for your email. That way you can switch providers as you like without having to change your address, and all the hassle that goes with that.
