for plain e-mail, recommend migadu.com (swiss) . They do only that

one thing that seems tricky though, is smartphone OS software. Apple + Google is on like 99% of everything. i went few years with Sailfish, all fine.. but they support only 5y+ old devices, for a reason or another.. and i got tired of waiting, and switched to Android. hmmm

Fastmail as well. they are Australian.

The AABill hits hard against Australia being a useful jurisdiction alternative to the US. Heck this law has made it impossible to hire any Australian National into security critical positions outside AUS. And the same law made services by fastmail and Atlassian suspect.

I bought an used phone and an used tablet supported by LineageOS. I installed e/OS (derived from LineageOS) on the phone and LineageOS on the tablet. The hardware is like new and with "debloated" software it works very well.

Sure ! Here you can find a list of alternatives :

I self hosting almost everything, but for a complete suite of services take at look at Infomaniak : https://www.infomaniak.com/en

Protonmail (https://proton.me/mail) or Tutanota (https://tuta.com/) for end-to-end encrypted emails, Filen (https://filen.io/) for encrypted Cloud Storage

Filen is becoming pretty awesome not only as worde alternative but as best sync storage period (and its e2e). They dobt have teams/bussines yet but its comming for sure.

Infomaniak is great email.

FYI Proton mail (or, they claim, just the CEO) is pro Trump.

To me this is a simplification. The CEO applauded a hiring decision. His social media team amplified it.

Some have interpreted this as a political signal. The Intercept article provides additional context and takes a more critical view: https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-tru...
