What's your email setup for privacy in 2026?

Curious what people using these days for email privacy. The
landscape seems to have changed a lot:

  • ProtonMail went mainstream but some complain about lock-in
  • Tutanota rebranded to Tuta, mixed reviews
  • Self-hosted is more accessible but deliverability is still hard
  • New players popping up with different approaches (E2E,sovereign hosting, etc.)

What's your current setup? Especially interested in:

  1. Provider or self-hosted?
  2. E2E encryption — do you actually use it?
  3. Custom domain or provider domain?
  4. How do you handle the fact that the other side usually uses Gmail anyway?

Mailbox.org encrypted at rest. Email Parrot VPE as aliasing and sanitizing layer. Emails only come to my mail or go out from my mailbox through a VPE alias.
