I finally decided to move to Posteo (https://posteo.de/en) and MTMedia (https://mtmedia.org/)

I didn't choose Proton because they have implemented an AI writing assistant, and I received a warning that they share their clients' account data.

Email green, secure, simple and ad-free - posteo.de -

Posteo is an innovative email provider that is concerned with sustainability and privacy and is completely ad-free. Our email accounts, calendars and address books can be synchronised - we use comprehensive encryption.

I am looking for an Email Provider that isn’t based in the US (so not Nadir or Riseup) and that is not owned by big tech companies. After some research (european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/gmail), I have found two options:
* Posteo
* Proton
Has anyone used either of these? I would love to hear your thoughts on which is better and why. If you have any other recommendations, please feel free to share them!

I covered resources for finding alternatives to big tech software and services in an article this morning. After noting AlternativeTo, I listed specific resources for privacy-friendly, ethical, user-friendly, open source, and decentralized software. I am sure that I missed many, so feel free to add to the list in the comments (or, better yet, in my Guestbook) if you know of others.
