Recommended free email service which are not the big names for everyday email?

I had made this question about 10 years ago and decided to use yandex at the time but in recent times they have become annoying with their forcing face recognition or yandex key to sign in. Sometimes they won't let me sign in at all unless using one of these methods and other times they will force a 5 minute wait until being able to use password login.
Most times it won't ask but the above will happen randomly now and again and seems to be becoming more frequent.
Not only that but for many years now emails get sent to spam folder by some providers where I will be waiting for a reply only to find out weeks later it was sent to their spam or I can only guess not received at all. This causes me to second guess when I send out mails whether they will actually reach their destination which is a very bad thing for your primary email address.
So are there some other alternatives that won't be seen as spam while not being one of the evil megacorps of hotmail, gmail and the usual suspects?
I know zohomail was recommended on another thread but that was for another use case of hosting a domain I owned whereas this is just for everyday email.

Mxroute @jar? Not free but highly recommended here
Not free = not the correct answer.
Have a good luck with your search
MXRoute @jar or NameCrane (aff / non-aff) @Francisco @NameCrane
Anything free that isn't from one of the evil megacorps will end up a spamhole. TANSTAAFL.
hotmail, gmail, tutanota, proton, yahoo, rambler.

Lots of Europeans have been moving to GMX recently: https://www.gmx.com/

Oh, why have others been moving?
There's been a big movement away from American services since Trump came to power, mainly out of fear that he'll have a tantrum and disable access at some point.
Check out Infomaniak. They offer free email.

RIP 🪦
You can use zoho just like any other email.
infomaniak and zoho
If it matters to you use your own domain and something not free (mxroute, francisco's new thing, proton, whatever).
If it doesn't matter to you just use gmail and stop wasting energy. You can't realistically avoid the gorillas anyway since anyone you communicate with is probably using one of them. Google is the least tedious of them imo.
Your post count is probably good enough to stop with these threads asking shit that's been asked thousands of times already right?
I use zoho mail. No issues with spam
¿ mail.com ?
It's only released to testers, but kagimail.com (created by the people behind Kagi Search Engine). I also like the UI
Gmx is pure shit
Are they the same company as gmx as I noticed some time ago their websites look identical, or at least used to when I checked last some years ago, just the domain name was different.
Reasoning?
zoho still rock solid for me after many years
I really understand your question and your need for a free email provider, but I'll strongly recommend against it if you are looking for privacy. NameCrane has their CraneMail product priced at just 10USD/year for 100GB, it is literally dirt cheap and I can tell from my experience that you won't regret it. I use their product daily for business and personal use and I haven't had any issues with spam/deliverability.

MXroute and CraneMail are highly recommended but not free.
It's been 11 years I think. Using the same account.
Rock solid.
Old accounts don't have the restrictions of new account (imap allowed in old accounts).
I love proton mail. They also provide recovery via seed phrase much like crypto. So better save it for later.
Spam and junk filter are shit, full of ads, they have foisted premium subscriptions on people,...
Use zoho, inbox or eclipso instead
IMAP is not allowed on new accounts per zoho text on website BUT it works.
