What is a good, paid email service that is
?
if sending cash by mail is also an acceptable anonymous payment option, https://mailbox.org/ maybe something for you
Thanks. No I can't send them cash
+1 for mailbox. Even though I pay with credit card. They're outside the country so worst case, the US knows I use them. That's fine.
I have a service that I'm providing as a beta at the moment. The code is all Free Software (Debian, Stalwart, Bulwark) and the data is sovereign to Europe (SEAL level 4). Hosted in Sweden, Finland and soon Norway. All run by a Swedish company without any US corporate involvement so you're not subject to Chinese or American jurisdiction (which means no US Cloud Act) but you are subject to European jurisdiction so you have GDPR and DSA protection, e.g. the right to be forgotten. Beta access is here: https://sverige.email/en/sign-up/
ProtonMail, maybe Tuta Mail.
I've heard bad things about both. Proton implies a lot of lock in and you almost can't use it with custom clients (thunderbird, aerc)
Tuta's support is pretty much nonexistent.
There is a local relay that allows to basically use ProtonMail with whatever client you want to. It's a bit more work, for sure, but it allows to use their encryption without having to install any addon on your client.
Proton encrypts your emails. Clients like Thunderbird aren't capable of handling that (yet).

What advantage are you trying to get with crypto?
Being able to pay easily. I'm in a region with no access to visa,master and other international payment methods.
The only simple way for me to buy products from otger countries is with crypto.
Makes sense.
