I use gmail and Yahoo for that purpose

He is asking about secure emails. Yahoo can't be on that list since the last fiasco.

I would go with the free plan from proton.
Just watch the storage as 500 mb can fill pretty fast depending what you're doing.
Their best plan is far to costly for an email service unless you're a big biz.

He might not aware about the op's question. If op is looking anonymous email and web hosting, he can try in https://ititch.com/ Enterprise email is available here for 49.00$ for an year. This will be good for op according to his requirement. Please refer below it use it.

What's wrong with gmail? I believe they are the most trusted, secured and widely used email providers. You can go for Google's paid mail service if you are not happy with their free version which most people widely use. I bet you will like their paid service, where you can bind your  domain with gmail too.

People who pay for email service usually look into privacy or encryption.
Sure gmail does the job. However, you let them collect data from your mails.

I also suggest ProtonMail.
We are at risk of the email provider collecting data and their is no way we can monitor it or prevent it. At best, Google admits that they collect them but there is no guarantee that some provider will not collect them simply because they say so, as these data is a million dollar business you know.

I signed up accounts at Torbox and Mail2Tor but as both won't work with clearnet recipients I stopped using them. Not sure if anyone's ever come close to match Sigaint.

Protonmail's the popular choice but I've really grown to like tutanota for encrypted emails, it's free and you can use Bitcoin to upgrade for Premium (honestly not sure what extras you get, never checked!).

Thanks, what would you consider the main benefits protonmail has over countermail?  Does it have unlimited aliases if you setup your own domains there?

Maybe because he wants privacy?

Yep, I don't really want google (and whomever it feels like reporting too) reading thru my emails figuring out how to monetize me. 

It doesn't mean I'm doing anything illegal either, it's just the idea of it bothers me.

If you are just worried about getting your email hacked than you can add additional security layer to your gmail account and it can be considered safest email to use for both personal and professional work. I am using gmail and have activated phone verification system so that no any hacker can access my email without my mobile. You can also add more numbers to it so that you can use them to recover your account if you loss your primary phone number.

Also you shouldn't use your email to register in every sites you visit. Just make secondary email to use on such sites and use primary email to create account on wallets, exchanges etc.

Is anyone purchasing paid (obviously) email hosting with their BTC?

Any recommendations on providers - pros/cons?

I know countermail offers it.  Do folks generally consider them secure? do they have any competitors in the field?

Countermail is considered to the be the most secure email in the world so far from clear web , normal internet. However if you are paranoid about your security there are a few services which offers best in class email security and privacy in the hidden internet. Use TOR browser to access that area as I am not that familiar with it. The only con I can see in countermail is them keeping logs of your emails which does not happen in the hidden internet services.
