I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.
It doesn't interoperate well with FOSS software like K9 and Thunderbird.
It does work fine with Thunderbird but you need their bridge app.
One day Proton will retire their bridge and there will be a lot of Pikachu faces.
I'm not really into the idea of moving everything to a baby Google, even if they're currently good about privacy. They just added an AI tool to email and a crypto wallet, which could be either awful or great signs depending on your perspective.
As you might guess Proton or Mailfence are my top picks if they were in the US. Regarding Proton, unless I am missing something I would need the Ultimate plan side I need more then one account and domain hosting. That is very expensive.
