I have Tutanota to be quite reliable end to end encryption and no ip logging. Also provides ability to send encrypted mail with pre shared passwords. Good client apps too.

Given Protonmail trust issues Sir Lee ought to have avoided.

Signal mail service/client would be great too. Long time FastMail user but they too give fuzzy answers on mail privacy. Mailbox.org seems to be decent with encryption at rest.

They will do IP logging if they receive relevant court requests.

The only client app you can use is Tutanota's client/web browser.

Last I used it you couldn't export a whole mailbox (only individual mails and directories), you couldn't have folders more than 1 level deep, and you couldn't import email.

You also can't encrypt emails to Tutanota users without using a temporary mailbox on their server. They could very easily disable encryption to particular users.

You can't use third party clients (thunderbird, mutt mail.app etc), and if you're used to those it's a no-go.

People always question whether or not ProtonMail could give you dodgy js that exfiltrates your password/private keys, the same goes for Tutanota, but in the case of Tutanota, you have no option to use a mail client, ie code not written by them.
