Could somebody recommend me a reliable and safe email service to use instead of Google and Microsoft ones?

Stop posting protonmail you bozos, what kind of person only needs a single email tied to a phone number? Preposterous. I won't even bother bringing up them putting some idiot climate activists in jail since I know "privacy" to redditors means posting about GDPR and turning your brain off
Tuta is allegedly okay (we're not international drug traffickers so we can pretend other (European) people's computers are trustworthy bc we don't need them to be usually) but it doesn't have imap, so you just use it as the recovery email and then use some other generic free disposable privacy email w imap

  And this is before even getting into their recent scandal with their VPN service.
  I won't touch that shit with a 39 ¹/₂ft poleeee~�*
  
  Lol i didnt even hear abt it im running off old animosities 😌
- But proton doesn't need a phone number? You can just do a captcha. I would never use an email that asks for a phone number.
  
  They began demanding my phone number after I signed up without it. Not sure why. Was years ago tho
  
  I wonder if it's by region. Are you outside EU?
  
  They want your IP or your phone. Use a VPN IP or TOR and they'll require a phone number. That's been my experience at least. I don't trust them.
  
  Hmm. That's not been my experience. I've been using proton with VPN with no issue. But yes, as you say, if that's your experience, it's shady. I would stay away from them were I in your shoes.
