I’m trying to degooogle my personal email address and replace it with a different email that doesn’t collect my data and its secure as well. Any suggestions for that?

I use Tutanota, which is based in Germany. It's FOSS and it's apparently resistant to decryption by quantum computers, which is impressive. They are also currently working on TutaDrive, which is a quantum-resistant cloud storage provider.

I'll just point out since you highlighted encryption as a selling point for those unaware: Tutanota was court order to build a backdoor against one of their users. Not trying to blame Tutanota specifically, just saying relying on a third part to do the encryption for you is not bulletproof no matter how impressive the encryption sounds.

But you must use their feature -lite apps or webmail and export / backup is clunky. Not all good

To be fair: this is a problem with Proton too.
