saw tutanota in the title and was worried I'd have to switch email providers again

Same, I'm still in the process of switching over to Tuta from proton

If i only used proton for email, how is that not a replacement?

Because with proton you can send encrypted email to people off proton with PGP. Tutanota only sends encrypted mail to other people on tutanota.

posteo.de is a better replacement for proton. They support PGP

I'm personally more worried about what a company is doing with my data. I.e. Google reading your emails for "personalized ads" or just straight up selling my data.

I feel confident that Tuta is not selling my data, and that's what's important to me.

On top of this, I also use my own domain, posteo does not support custom domains.

But every time you email someone else on gmail, google reads your data. Including all the companies using Google Workspace.

But if you send PGP encrypted to a gmail user with a service that supports it (tutanota does not), then the recipients email provider can't read it
