I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I'm switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren't accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won't send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I'm US-based.

I'm genuinely curious if PGP is used on emails much? It seems like most email these days is just receiving updates or mailing lists, and those aren't going to be using PGP.

    This is rather a niche case, but I regulary file complaints to data protection authorities in Germany, and many of them do actually offer the option to encrypt the emails they send to you using PGP, same for a police report I once made.
