You can also buy a domain name and get cheap email hosting. Less annoying than what I hear proton is. My hosting uses Titan Mail, they'll occasionally pop up about a new thing they're working on but I can just be like "no thanks" and they go "cool."

I've been using proton for several years and have not found it annoying.

Not sure what you've heard is annoying.
