I've been using Protonmail, but can't recommend them due to how open sourcing their stuff seems to be a secondary concern to them.
I've also tried Tutanota a little, and might transfer my stuff over there at some point if Protonmail does not take their privacy aspect more seriously, in regards to open source specifically. Tutanota, at least from the surface, seems to tick all the boxes.
I've seen people complaining about lack of features in the free version of Tutanota, but it bears reminding that you want to be paying with your money for these services. I've been waiting for Protonmail to hit F-Droid to start paying for the service, but it might just never happen.
Same here. I used to pay for the Plus version until I found out Tutanota has a client on F-Droid and the free tier works nicely. Another thing is that I can bulk export, which is something I can't do on Protonmail unless I pay for a plan.
The only thing I don't like about Tutanota is that everything is enclosed on their apps, so you cannot use any external clients, and I rely a lot on Thunderbird. And while I can connect Protonmail through the bridge, I still need to pay for it.
In the end, I'm slowly migrating to Mailbox. It's not free, but I like it, offers a bunch of features I use and I can connect it with external clients. Tutanota is the secondary service I use.
