ProtonMail is one of the most reputable and innovating secure and private Email services available. It offers a solid free tier, and several outstanding paid tiers depending on your needs. The support PGP, forward-secrecy, zero-access, and very strong encryption options, including a way to encrypt messages outside of their system of servers.
