Wish there was more info on the difference between these services. I really admire DDG but I don't think they check their ads well. I have been taken in by a scam ad once before. For email, I've been using fastmail ever since I asked this[1] two years ago. It is terrific. It also provides a calendar.

Also came here to mention Fastmail, and was surprised it wasn't in the list in the OP.

  There in a five eyes country and do not offer e2e, therefore are not included in the ultra-paranoid lists.

How do you like the calendar? Google Calendar is the one thing I’ve really found to be way ahead of the competition.

Same here, I just renewed for 3 years for 92$. There are only two things I hope they will fix: - the android app works only when there is an internet connection running (...) - they should provide a family account, because I am not gonna pay for my wife or kids' accounts for 10 emails a month or so.

I also came here to suggest fastmail - it's been great overall, and the killer feature that allowed me to transition to it smoothly was that they offer email snoozing, which I use to manage my schedule and when to deal with emails, etc. That was the great feature of inbox that I felt I couldn't leave until they killed it and sent me back to gmail (whose interface I don't like, and I want to de-google as much as possible, so it fitted together well).

+1 for Fastmail. It's a fantastic service. Offers webdav storage, calendar, contacts, notes, and more. I really like that you can also use sieve[1] for filtering your email. JMAP[2] is really cool too, the documentation on it is quite great. It makes me want to do some cool things with it, like Julia Evans[3].
