In case you're a German speaker, there are some native German Email providers that afaik are pretty good on privacy (our laws are very strict there, and there is what is known as). And as their servers should be in Germany, the NSA will have a slightly more difficult task of sniffing. Examples are gmx.de and web.de. (Although I'd caution you with the latter - I use their free version and am not impressed with their customer service: nonexistent. Also, they send you their own advertising. I don't know if their paid tier is any better, I haven't tried it.)
