I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I’m switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren’t accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won’t send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I’m US-based.

    Right, if you want absolute anonymity they might not be the best since they also ask for the phone number on subscription as stated in another comment. Then the question would be about trust. I mean, I wouldn’t trust with my data someone I wouldn’t trust with my ID or my phone number.

      Its not about absolute anonymity, but my ID is something that I will not hand out for a piece of chocolate. For me there are levels of trust. I can trust someone to give them my name but not give them copy of my id. If your name leaks is not as problematic as if the copy of your ID leaks. Same way I can trust someone to even just use their service, but not with e.g. my timezone/location data. You know what I mean right?
