I really enjoy https://mailbox.org, their custom software can be… esoteric at times, but the company and privacy commitments are top notch, and it has PGP built throughout natively, including an option to automatically PGP encrypt all plaintext emails you receive. I joined it originally as a cheaper alternative to Protonmail but these days I really prefer it.
Also, you can give it out email aliases for work or to other people without giving away that you're actually a conspiracy nut and privacy enjoyer. Much better when it's @mailbox rather than @tutanota or @protonmail
Or you can also not care what other people think. I think
proton.mesounds pretty cool. I'm a physicist too so it kinda makes sense. Tutanota allows quite a few short domains;tuta.iosounds a bit funny but it's short enough to not be strange.When I am forced to give my email for electronic receipts in shops though...it's a full on
{shop_name}@handle.anonaddy.me. No issues or weird looks so far.Yep @mailbox.org sounds a bit more professional.
I tried it but the design just wasn't mine. I switched to protonmail then and it's a great value for the money. Vpn, password manager, files, mail, calender(, contacts)
