Do you use pgp/gnupg encryption with clients like Thunderbird? What do you think of protonmail?

You should always separate public from private

for public shity spam/throwaway: protonmail with multiple aliases.
for private use only: my own domain, hosted on my own server

Here I wrote a guide about these aspects: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/avoid-being-spammed

This. For hosting your private mail, you can use a cheap VPS service and use https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized.

do you have problems with your own server, that corporate email services refuse your emails because they think it's spam? I've wanted to do this, but I always read scare stories that it puts you outside the sandbox the corporations play in, and won't let you join

Nope. Not at all. Is all about how do you configure your MX and DNS, DMARC etc. And I usually educate all my correspondence to move on from centralized email services like Google or MS.

Many of these also they host their own domain on to Gmail servers. The most stupid move ever.

Thanks Darth. I somehow missed this guide.

Protonmail. The privacy benefits outweigh the tradeoffs in convenience. For example, for work I use pdf attachments frequently. ProtonMail requires a full download before viewing contents of the pdf.

I'm using Proton for private mails. Very often I use anonymous emails/aliases from https://simplelogin.io

Mainly I try to prefer account registrations with Nostr or Lighning integration like SN.

Proton for more private emails. Gmail as habit for throwaway.

I'm very happy with protonmail.

Privacy is excellent and I personalize it with my own domain.
