I wanted my own domain and a good integration with android but I didn't want to give my data to microsoft so I went with https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/emails/hosted-exchange/
Had no issues so far for the last 2-3 years.
It's cheaper than protonmail and you're not locked to a specific application since Exchange is well supported.
Tutanota or Protonmail
Protonmail but i prefer Tutanota made in Germany 100 % Privacy :D
Proton is too slow with updates usw
Proton Mail
It's pretty easy to setup your own domain if you don't mind it being someone else's server. I first used one called ZoHo, you just need a domain and a txt record to validate control as I recall and they'll do the rest for free. That was a number of years ago though so it may have changed since.
I'm using Migadu and it's been great so far. Not many bells and whistles but it's just email. Also allows you to control your own email address and not be locked into a different platform
I just use IMAP through my domain hosted on Dreamhost (had it for about 13 years now??) and then use K9 and Thunderbird to read it.
Don't need to deal with all the hosting my own mail server spam and ISP nightmare :)
Protonmail and Tutanota seem like your best bets, big providers like to sort others in the spam folder tho!
Get your own domain and sign up with Opalstack.
Do all or any of these options offer filtering?
I'm using a combination of Postfix and Cyrus IMAPd.
Granted, probably not what OP was asking for, but privacy wise, this is almost certainly more water tight than any of the other options.
