Yeah I laughed when I saw he'd moved to MS, but I'd love to get some more alternatives. My ISP has already said they're going to stop providing email service at some point in the near future and I'll have to migrate at some point. In the past I'd picked up a cheap domain and self-hosted for a bit, but I'd love to not have to. Any good email providers out there that actually respect their customers and support IMAP?

I moved my personal email from Google a few years ago to https://inbox.eu https://inbox.eu which was by far the cheapest option for mailboxes for the whole family on custom domains etc. They've been very solid, I have no regrets. Their spam filtering has been a little hit and miss but other than that, solid. Work email is moving from Google to https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/ksuite-pro https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/ksuite-pro - if you're not bothered about custom domains, they also offer an excellent free tier for personal use: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/myksuite https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/myksuite

  It looks like inbox.eu does sell your data and/or use it to push personalized ads. If I'm paying for something I don't want ads and I'd really prefer that whoever I pay weren't reading my personal mail for things to use against me.

  I tried to get the free tier but even when I select personal it only offers me paid options. Very weird and it feels misleading because they advertise free so much. I just wanted to try it out with an intent to subscribe but I left it because of that.

Purchase a domain and point the MX record(s) to any provider you'd like. If you end up not liking that provider, you simply point the domain to a different one. That's the main advantage of not using the provider's domain as a part of your email address (like @gmail.com, @outlook.com or whatever).
