FOSS email providers?

I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?

Proton Mail sounds quite promising to me
- I've been using Proton since it first came out and have had no problems with it. I have a paid account because it's worth it to me to not be the product. And for about $5/mo I get encrypted email, calendar, vpn, drive, and password manager (though I primarily only use the first three).
  They have a free version that lets you try it out, though with limited features.
  
  The Mail Plus version of the Password Manager doesn't have any option for 2FA unfortunately, only if you pay for unlimited (US$12/mo).
- Hostinger isn't bad either. That said I would really like to self-host but everyone rightly tells me not to deal with it.
  
  I know someone who self hosts email and they are constantly removed that people don't get their emails
  
  Unknown domains often get refused connections from mail servers. Also, it can be easy to get blacklisted.
  
  Yes, because an unknown domain is practically guaranteed to be spammy garbage. Probably malware too.
  Don't self host mail. Just use a privacy respecting and encrypted mail provider.
  
  Big mail does act like a cartel sometimes. It should be easier to self host. It's a freedom worth encouraging.
