Proton Mail (protonmail.com) is a good one.
Protonmail seems to be a really good alternative. I also found one called tutanota that is totally encrypted from end-to-end.
protonmail.com
Swiss based, encrypted. They have free accounts, but I go with the plus account that costs me $50/yr or something. I think one thing we need to get used to is that there is no free lunch. Google makes money by selling your emails to advertisers. As has been said many times, YOU are the product. If you want secure and private email, you have to pay.
I don’t trust any free email or online service, especially now. I do have a gmail account that I only use occasionally. I’ve heard good things about Reagan email, it’s not free though.
protonmail is a good choice as has been suggested. But the best method would be for all of us to go back to snail mail. Deplatform the electronic media might be the only alternative to the Big Tech. Call your folks. Write them letters. etc...
Proton mail free only gave me three folders to save emails to.
Your internet provider may offer one or more free email accounts.
Mine does.
If you have an iPhone or iPad it comes with email
Re a private phone: I don’t know much about Linux-based phones, but I will be looking hard at them

iOS users are screwed unless you jailbreak your iPhone - which will lead to other issues.
Gab is the best bet right now, as they are not dependent on apps and have their own servers.
On my iPhone, I was able to create a Gab icon that functions just like an app. Basically you navigate to Gab on your mobile browser and create a shortcut to your home screen (Safari is best for this). You then get a shortcut with the Gab logo and it functions just like any other app.
Gab did an excellent job coding their website to be optimal on a mobile browser.
Kudos to them. Once they get their extra servers online, they will likely be the go to place for conservative social media as big tech is unable to shut them down. Trump is likely to move to that platform as well.
You do not need the app to access Parler. It’s a website. Go to Parler.com in your browser.
I use Reagan.com
Never, ever use online mail of any type. Think that out? Do you really want snoopy leftists mail server admins reading your all of mail? Of anyone else of the same ilk?
Use a scheme like this:
For a PC use Outlook (or equivalent) and POP3, so emails are downloaded and stored locally and removed from the mail server, NOT LEFT SITTING OUT THERE. On your mail server, setup forwarded copies to your cell phone, at a different email address. Store those locally on your cell. Rest in peace that all of your emails are local.
Yandex Mail or Zoho Mail
Proton mail.
I have a Proton Mail account. Good encryption, servers are in Switzerland. Can’t get friends or family to do the same, *sigh*. Might start to change now. Email is only secure if both parties are using it.
Going back to the bad old days of dialup I signed up with Outdoors Unlimited (www.outdrs.net). Before Yahoo, before gmail. I still pay the monthly fee to use their email. Been nigh on 20 years now. They don’t sell my info to advertisers.
At my retirement BOL the only “broadband” ISP is HughesNet satellite. Not for the addicted video streamer types, and weather can interfere with it, but I do get 3 email addresses. Their system also blocks 100% of the Chinese port pings that used to plague me, and if you try to geolocate my URL it tells you I’m in the middle of Kansas. I like that.
get your own domain and use an old desktop computer as a mail server,it isn’t too hard, I think we use IceWarp for the mail server.
To keep them from allowing yo to access parler just download a web browser and use it that way. Better yet use a real computer. One with a real keyboard that when you press the buttons they go down and you don’t mash three little phone keys at the same time and the screen does not black out. Iuse parler everyday and I do not use a phone.
