Despite all the FUD, you can’t beat running your own server. I’ve been doing it trouble-free for about 20 years, and I would not want to give up the power and flexibility it affords me. However, I’ve been wondering this myself: how to advise someone who, say, is leaving an institution and needs to replace its email service, but who can’t or doesn’t want to run a server. I know what not to use: gmail, protonmail (as you point out), hotmail, aol (!), ... but I would love to know of a service that I can recommend with confidence.
