Tutanota and Proton are often recommended services. I personally prefer Tutanota, and their encryption. Though, Proton has a nice suite of services, that is worth looking into. Namely their VPN and Drive…

Tutanota also encrypts email folder and labels names. Last time I checked, Proton does not.

E-mail is not a private service by default. You can “try” to mitigate some privacy flaws using PGP for example but PGP is not widespread to be something useful.
