Encrypted email provider alternatives to ProtonMail (lemmy.today)

I've been a ProtonMail user for 6 years already but must admit that I'm one of those that is not liking the direction the company is taking and find it worrying, specially now that they plan to launch an office suite that I don't need or want.

I run most of my cloud services self-hosted except email but I'm not fully ready (hardware & software - wise) to admin my own encrypted email server although I don't discard I'll do so in the future. I already know Tuta and it's defo another option but my ideal one should be one that could be used directly with email clients like Thunderbird (I don't mind managing my own GPG keys) so I see Tuta as the retreat option.

So, any ideas for a reliable encrypted email provider other than self-hosting?

Yeah, I know emails will navigated unencrypted outside of my server (in case I decide self-host), encryption at rest is muy first priority with the added benefit that those other using the same server (i.e. family) can also get end-2-end encryption

But as I said I'm not ready, my current homelab server is already reaching capacity and I know that a wrongly configured SMTP will get blacklisted and then good luck (happened already once with another domain)

Anyway, I'm not giving up that just yet but in the meantime just wanted to know about other providers as potential alternatives.
