I second the recommendation for Fastmail, as well as POBox.
Fastmail shoots self in foot with with focus on "gee whiz" and pretty
pictures. No obvious link to unadulterated single Pop email.
https://www.pobox.com/pricing does not seem to offer unfiltered
unadulterated vanilla Pop3 email for those not wanting their own domain.
Features of both:
- No ads and no scraping emails for "relevant" ads
- You can use your own domain name or theirs (you don't have to have a custom
domain)
They also have these advantages over Protonmail
- Works with any imap email client (Protonmail's paid plan requires a Bridge
app for Thunderbird. etc)
Protonmail doesn't explicitlty say that it works with Debian &/or
SeaMonkey. I require both.
- Doesn't have known/deliberate issues sending/receiving email to mailing lists
or other cases where the from address is legitimately changed
https://fastmail.com - I use their $5/mo plan for me, and $3/mo plan for my
wife while I start the long process to migrate away from gmail.
https://pobox.com - Their $50/yr plan includes hosting your mail for you. The
lower plans only Forward mail to your own mail server. I'm looking to add them
alongside Fastmail with a second custom domain so that I don't have all my eggs
on one basket.

Protonmail doesn't support POP / IMAP client connections but it's Ad-free, they do
have free accounts, I use one, >but they're also an organization very much
worthy of supporting with a paid subscription.
According to their site they only don't support POP/IMAP for free accounts.
