If Google eventually does roll out end-to-end encryption, could it be a threat to services like @protonprivacy and @Tutanota ?

Redesign of Apple Mail: Automatic categories cause confusion
From iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4, Apple's Mail app automatically sorts all messages into categories. This means that emails can get out of sight.
The bird is out of the bag! We're introducing Thunderbird Pro (you already know Appointment!), a set of productivity AND privacy boosting services. And that includes...*drum roll*...an email service we're calling Thundermail. Find all the info in this excellent article:
Finally! Mozilla Thunderbird challenges Gmail with its own email service. And that's just the beginning...

Discovered that Spamdyke's "greylisting" is why the 2FA code emails to my hosting provider's email accounts often arrive so late they expire.
It bounces the first arrival of an email with the assumption that a non-spammy email server will retry.
Turns out this really confuses whatever queues are sending out these 2FA code emails. Sometimes it takes an hour for them to arrive (expired). Disabled it & now I can get into several services I've been locked out of.
Ugg.
Got to get off gmail - not comfortable keeping my stuff on a fascist enabling US-based email provider. It's not safe anymore if they will just bend over for anything #TrumpMusk demand.
Any recommends for a non-American owned, preferably UK-based email hosts that don't require your own domain? Happy to have something like cybervegan23812@whateverhost.co.uk. Doesn't have to be webmail, but I'd prefer it.
I know how to host email myself, but I DON'T WANT TO - too much hassle these days, and I also don't want to buy and maintain a domain.
Additionally, NOT protonmail, as we have had family trauma involving them as an accessory to a crime against us. We don't want to be constantly reminded of this.
Please boost for reach.
“Enter your email” is a phrase we see all too often. With so much of the internet now requiring that you hand over your email address before using any services, you can still protect your privacy. @AssociatedPress provides these pointers on the whys and hows of email masking:
#Tuta sees 148% surge in new paying customers
Upgraded my #email from GMail to the Dutch-based StartMail. I like that I can use a single account for my 3 domains at no extra cost.
Just be aware that it doesn’t offer calendar or contact sync, but given I have an iPhone too, I could easily move those to iCloud.
