I'm going to need a private email account. Is anyone happy with their service (or particularly unhappy with a service they have left)?

Will reply individually, but first off, many thanks to everyone. These recommendations are really helpful. I'd not come across some of these services in my first superficial search, and I'm looking forward to exploring beyond the SEO boundary. Great stuff!

@fgbjr Was happy with NameCheap Private Email, but did discover an issue with IMAP folders (they can not be permanently deleted). Otherwise feature rich and inexpensive.

Would consider Zoho, Fastmail.

@fgbjr I’ve liked ProtonMail, though I’ve only used it on a small scale. I’ve also heard good things about Fastmail.
@fgbjr If you mean some other kind of service, like SMTP for a server, I’ve done fine with Mailgun on a small scale.

@fgbjr I use @Tutanota and like it a lot. Makes me very happy. Simple, fast, secure, and fairly priced.

I also use the mail accounts I can setup on my web host, https://clook.net. Very happy with that service too. Been with Clook since 2003 and they haven't put a foot wrong. Always been excellent.
