I really like using Fastmail. For raw features, it's got a contact sync, calendar sync, custom domain suppport, a snappy webmail client, push notifs (which Gmail does not support outside the official app), a robust spam filtering language, integration with 1Password that lets you make per-site masked email addresses, and a lot more. As for security: I only care about account security, not confidentiality. As a friend said to me recently "as far as I'm concerned, emails are digital postcards". For account security, Fastmail has 2FA and revocable per-client passwords.

I've also gone for fastmail. I looked at tutanota, but they don't have import of external mails. The pricing plans for protonmail were strange. Not enough storage or custom domains on the plus and personal plans and I recall you couldn't buy more (might be wrong about that - but it wasn't revealed until I created an account ), They have a very expensive "visionary" plan but it's limited to 6 users. With fastmail you can have multiple domains, and your users can have different payment plans. Their import from gmail was very quick with no hitches.

Fastmail also integrates really well with custom domains, much better than GMail ever did. Overall, moving to Fastmail from GMail was one of the best things I've done in my online life.

One problem that I had with FastMail is that they were bouncing too many messages. I also found that some important-to-me services were being rate-limited from sending email for weeks, even though none of the email received was marked as spam (by their filters or explicitly by me). I tried adding the senders to my address book as recommended and nothing changed, I also tried reaching out to support and they took weeks to respond then said "they look spammy". I get that all providers need to do some filtering but if the customer is saying that they want a specific set of emails saying "they look spammy" is not a good response. I ended up picking another provider and closing my trial account.
