There are some companies that offer encrypted email accounts.

ProtonMail (https://protonmail.com/) which I prefer, and Tutanota (https://tutanota.com/)

Didn't protonmail get ddos'ed a while back, then ask for donations to pay the ransom, and try to spin it as a state level conspiracy?

Can anyone in a position to know weigh in on whether it's true that decent ddos protection costs $100,000 per year?

EDIT: The consensus on HN about these questions affects whether I would recommend protonmail to non-technical users.
