I’m in the US and I don’t even want a US email provider for the surveillance concerns alone.
Protonmail, servers in Switzerland. Encrypted so that even proton doesn't have the key. The only downer is if you forget your login info and need to do a full account reset you also lose your encryption key as a new one is generated and old emails are unretrievable.
Good in case of attempted account take over
I was having trouble deciding between Proton and Tuta until that happened.
I did see that and I investigated Tuta. I had already paid for the year unfortunately. But I also wonder if he knows how Trump operates and would try to make foreign hosted encrypted data illegal, and so he was just pandering to trumps narcissism by congratulating him in his pick.
This is the Internet's common wisdom at the moment but it's a bit reductive. Here's a decent write up about it:
