I have problems trusting alternatives like Tutanota and Mailbox. Both of which are in Germany, which has been policing speech for the past 100 years. If a Swiss company will comply with law enforcement, then a German company absolutely will.
There’s also riseup, which I avoid because instead of being at the behest of a Governments politics, you have to deal with theirs instead. I don’t want to be involved or associated with politics outside of my local voting booths (although inevitably unavoidable when you’re talking about free speech and privacy)
I think the solution is to host your own or find another protocol. At the end of the day only you have your best interests in mind.
