I've used Mailfence for a long time, and for the price (€42 a year, or
about US$45 a year depending on currency exchange rates) they are pretty
feature rich.
-Custom Domain support (with catch-all email address)
-IMAP support (for using an email client)
-PGP Encryption support through the web client
-10GB storage for email
-Located in Belgium, strengthening privacy requirements (in theory).
The only other paid services I would recommend are Tutanota or
Protonmail, but...
-Tutanota does NOT support IMAP (and therefore does NOT support
downloading your email to an email client like Thunderbird)
-Protonmail is more expensive compared to all of the above, but their
security is unparalleled.
If you need free email, and you need lots of storage space, then
unfortunately the only other reasonable solution is Gmail, and we know
why Gmail cannot be trusted.
