Recently proton has offered a combo package, bundling email, vpn and storage. With client apps for proton drive, and higher storage space, it would be a great option.

the main issue I have with protonmail is that it locks you out, basically if you wanna move away from it, you can't just fwd the incoming emails
What prevents you from forwarding mail?

Short answer: everything is encrypted. So they could forward it in theory, but it would be unusable downstream anyway. The way you'd have to do it is set up the decryption email bridge on a client and set up some manual forwarding after that on the client side.

Can’t recommend Migadu enough. Rock solid service with excellent support. Happy customer for about 3 years now—not once have I been sent to spam.
Protonmail. I don’t see why people use fastmail (the privacy laws in Australia are among the worst in the world), when they can get the encrypted version from proton.

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.
+1 Fastmail. $3.88/month if you pay in advance for 3 years for their standard plan. Totally amazing. Also in their web UI, you can select a professional font: Proxima Nova! The attention to detail is great.

Because ProtonMail doesn't offer SMTP and IMAP except by running a local proxy server on your own machine. When people say they want an "email service", they usually mean they want SMTP and IMAP.
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 was on Protonmail before switching to Fastmail. Happy with both, but I do have a couple issues with Protonmail: 1. I remember the webui being really slow. Maybe because it was hosted in Europe? This was a couple years ago. Fastmail has one of the best/fastest web apps I've ever used. 2.

Namely, that Australia (where Fastmail is based) passed laws that require all Australian companies to give any/all data on their users to the Australian government, and are not allowed to publicly disclose what is given.
Not that Google is any better.
If you want a privacy-focused email that "just works" consider Protonmail or Tutanota. Alternatively, if you're feeling bold, you can self-host your own email like I do, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in it for the fun of it!
