"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.

Proton's a good alternative.
There's some confused allegations of them being MAGA Facists. But it's a combination of misunderstanding and misrepresentation.

    Is it funny?
    By a sizeable margin they're the largest and most popular in the space. At the same time, that makes them the biggest target and most watched.

    Someone even mentioned a possible smear campaign by Google. While there's no evidence at all of that, they would be the most obvious target.

    So it's not really funny or odd in any way. It's kind of obvious really.

    tuta seems to avoid making this "mistake" and it too has a sizeable following as well as a full complement of privacy respecting services that can rival proton.

    They realy aren't, and don't.
    Tuta doesn't have even half the user base, or services.

    They aren't bad at all. And I don't doubt they'll get there.
    But they aren't at all close yet.
