Help me with an email provider! (lemmy.nerdcore.social)

Hello, I've been looking into email providers. I'm not an activist, just a regular user concerned over privacy.

I used CTemplar in the past until it shut down. Had a cockli email and although it isn't Google the privacy isn't stellar either. I tried to get into Proton, but being unable to use Thunderbird on he free plan was a massive turn-off for me since I like switching easily between different accounts.

After a bit of searching the following came across for me as the best services: [free] Autistici, PARANOID, Disroot. [paid] Posteo, Elude.

Assuming I theoretically got invites for all the free services (they're all reliant on manual approvation), which one would you recommend?

@edit: After reading a bit on the free services, I decided that I will choose them in a Disroot > Autisci > PARANOID order of priority,

I have used mailbox.org before migrating to my own server. Pretty solid.

I use Austici because users can have 5 alias addresses, you can delete one and create a new alias, but has a limit 5.

Nobody has my true address, my main address, 100% everyone I email or give out my address are all different aliases. If one alias gets too much spam I delete and make a different one so spam doesn't reach my inbox.
