"Trusted" eMail Providers? (lemmy.zip)

I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I'm switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren't accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won't send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I'm US-based.

Tuta is awesome. You can try their free tier for an unlimited time, so no need to rush it.

Ive been really considering Tuta as my next choice. Do you find it difficult or easy to use for your accounts like bills/finance/important?

For me it works almost perfect. Once an alias with the @tuta.io Domain got denied, elsewise I am happy. Might depend on the TLD you choose.

I used tuta for a long time ans never had any issues. I recently switched only because I wanted to be able to send emails from my self hosted services ans they don't support anything but they're own clients. If that's not a problem for you the tuta is a great option.

I've also used Tuta. Just gonna point out that some shopping sites didn't accept my Tuta email. I haven't used it with financial stuff tho so can't comment on that.
