Recommended email providers? (lemmy.world)

I'm setting up my Nextcloud server and am at the point of needing to connect an email server. I'm not interested in selfhosting an email server (not yet anyway), and I don't particularly like Proton as my current email provider (which was what I migrated to when de-Googling my life).

What email providers do y'all like that aren't run by shady tech bros and are easy to integrate with your other selfhosted services?

Mailo.com. French company. They have quite a quirky UI. like one can tell it's made by a backend guy and the junior version is made by his younger nephew but technical wise it's perfect. All standards are there plus price is OK.

French government is trying to crack down on encrypted services. https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1993035936800584103 I'm avoiding anything from France for now.

GrapheneOS also has an official Bluesky account. Here's a link to the same post except you don't need to visit that nazi-bar website and don't need to login: https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3m6fm6vseik27

Email is not encrypted.

True. Maybe it was not the best phrasing. It may apply to some email providers (eg. Proton) if email communication happens only between recipients of the same provider, which is rarely the case.

I mentioned this to highlight that if this pressure is put on legitimate secure services like GrapheneOS, then you can imagine that your email data is scrutinized without your knowledge.

At this point if I have to choose between French government looking at my email and yellow man minions I go with French.
