Good safe site for email?

I own a domain name through godaddy. This costs me under twenty dollars per year including the surcharge to hide my name and location. My cost includes free email. It has worked perfectly for the six or seven years that I've had it. I have neither ads nor spam problems nor account hijacking.
 
I have about a half dozen email addresses now. I use Gmail for business Hotmail for rooms like this & a Yahoo account that I opened close to 20 years ago. That's the one I use for friends and family and now is kind of a catch all.
 

I have several emails, too. My main one is through iCloud since I have an iPad and iPhone; but I use yahoo for stuff that is not important, like my Bookbub and Book Gorilla emails, because those come each day.
I think I have a gmail count; but I never use it, and I also have an outlook account that I very seldom use. I actually don’t send very many emails anymore, and mostly just email from places where I get updates. Amazon sends me their list of free giveaways every day, and I am on a church prayer chain, and stuff like that.
For personal stuff, I just use messaging.
 
With G Mail (Google) I am concerned with privacy and I am skeptical of that company.
Some critics believe that they have sneaky plans to use your "cookies" and so on
in ways that you would not approve of.

You are wise to avoid Gmail, as the privacy is awful as awful gets. Its okay for a junkmail account though, although AOL would be slightly better. For regular email, I'd recommend either gmx.com or mail2world.com.
For high security (like for business, online shopping, etc.), its tutanota.com or mailfence.com.
