Mailbox.org

Mailbox Standard compared to ProtonMail Plus:

Cheaper (€30/yr vs ~€50/yr; if you don't need custom domains, €1/mo)
More aliases (25 on mailbox, 50 on own domain. Proton has 10 TOTAL - why custom domain aliases are counted against Proton ones does not make sense to me.)
Support for any number of custom domains AFAICT (Proton Plus supports only one)
Trial account is not allowed to send emails, so fewer issues with services blacklisting proton.me and protonmail.com for spam (hasn't happened to me, but I have heard of some cases)
Can use a regular email client (security tradeoff for E2EE messages - but there already were plenty of discussions on whether E2EE has benefits, especially sending mail to other services)

They’re a little swift about locking accounts for spam suspicion. They did so to mine before I had sent a single mail and demanded I contact them through the (locked) mailbox.org mail to resolve it. Had to dispute the charge with my credit card.

My vote goes to Migadu. Slightly complicated UI, but it all works, and they don’t lock accounts before they have seen any indications of misuse.

Runbox is OK too, though they don’t support bouncing inbound mail based on recipient address, so less useful with your own domain.
