FastMail scores pretty well on this comparison of email providers based on privacy:

The scoring does not make sense:

FastMail has servers in the US and is domiciled in Australia, a Five Eyes country:

Mass surveillance and powerful security services do not go together with privacy IMHO.

It does seem a little inconsistent.

"Our headquarters are located in Melbourne, Australia with servers at New York Internet and QuadraNet in the USA, and at Switch Datacenters in the Netherlands."

Maybe this?

"We do not participate in, or co-operate with, any kind of blanket surveillance or monitoring. (We also point out that Australia does not have any equivalent to the US National Security Letter, so we cannot be forced to do something without being allowed to disclose it.)

...

Unless prohibited by law, we will disclose to the account holder when we receive a warrant for their account."

That's a good site. I wonder why Fastmail has a red mark against business ethics. ProtonMail (and even Gmail) are green (not even yellow).

ProtonMail seem to be better for activism. I guess because of things like: https://protonmail.com/blog/investigatory-powers-bill-email-...
