I want to stop using google services as much as possible, which is why I want to switch to a different email service. I don't know which one I should switch too though. It would be great if someone could recommend a good alternative.

I use Runbox because it's green (renewable energy), mostly worker-owned and with better (if not perfect) privacy and security. Posteo won't let you have a spam folder and there is no worker ownership. Autistici and Disroot are worth checking out, run by volunteers, not for profit, non-capitalist. All of these are free or very cheap.
