 Same for me, no way I'm using service from an American company for my emails.

I'm Swiss, so I'm fine with Protonmail, they are not of perfect integrity but still way above 99% of the main players in the email market.

 Self-host your data. I don't use any Big Tech solutions. Not Google. Not Apple. Not Microsoft. Not Proton. Not Tutanota. Etc...

Always keep you data in your own country.

In the US, as a US citizen, once your data goes international, it becomes legally easier for the letter agencies to collect and spy on your data.

It's sad, but you can't trust anyone. They'll all hand over your data the moment any government agency looks at them mean.

 True. I'm self hosted almost everything but I gave up on email after some years of selfhosting mine, it was too sensitive to risk getting offline while away, to loose email and ending up in spam many times as a sender.
