You could also get a private E-Mail address that doesn’t scan all your mails to make money out of it. Google tries to enprison you in it’s ecosystem by “facilitating” logins and so on. If you don’t pay with money, you pay with your data.
Huge vote for mailbox.org. They have calendars, contract lists, online storage, etc. I’ve been able to get rid of Google/gmail almost entirely from my phone.
I don’t know anything about mailbox.org, but I’m sure it’s way less sketchy than Google. It’s just interesting you would praise their free video conferences after posting “if you don’t pay with money, you pay with data.”
Oh believe me, I’m well aware lol. I’ve already got the setup you’re describing. It’ll probably never amount to anything, but I’m still going to try and see if I can get something that most email providers will send mail to and accept mail from, without putting in the spam folder.
Gmail and MS also make other providers jump through crazy hoops too to let users create a new email, lest they be flagged as a “spam” provider and blacklisted by the 2 services.
Last year, I saw an article written by a recruiter about how recruiters are sort of biased against you if you use a non-GMail account because it “feels” like you’re on old tech and out of touch and, therefore, will be hard to place and, Void, did it make be so mad.

mailbox.org
posteo.net
Both are great alternatives for only a couple of bucks a month.

Like the other commenter said, it is included in the price. It is called OpenTalk and is as secure as it gets.
Should have said ‘included’ rather than ‘free’ since it is a paid service
Also tutamail
Can vouch for TutaMail, currently on it as I attempt all the hurdles of serting up a self-hosted mail solution.
You should really refrain from trying that, email is one of the few things youre better off not hosting yourself.
You should own the domain of your email addresses, but please use a hosting service, for your own good

The modern internet sucks.

Purelymail is also an amazing service. 10€ per year for unlimited storage and addresses, and you can add your own domains.
Been using them with a custom domain for about 8 months and love it, no issues at all.
