Safe-Mail is from Israel, if you use this service for communication, you could as well directly send copies of all your documents to Homeland Security. Seriously, don't use it.
If you are looking for an email provider which will not spy on you, choose one from Europe! They are bound to Europe's General Data Protection Regulation and far away from US / China standards. In Europe, no one would even think of spying on their customers, I can't believe that US companies would do something like this.
The difference between European and American email providers is, that the European ones usually charge money for providing IMAP and other features that Google offers for free. If googled a bit and found three maybe interesting email providers for you, they are all available in English:
Disroot based in the Netherlands. They offer IMAP for
free and 1 GB mail space:
https://disroot.org/en/
Mailbox.org based in Germany. IMAP and 2 GB mail space for
1 Euros per month. Encrypted mailbox.
https://mailbox.org/en/
https://restoreprivacy.com/mailbox-org/
Mailfence based in Belgium. IMAP and 5 GB for Euro
2,50 per month. Kind of a Google Alternative with Docs and Calendar, etc.
https://mailfence.com/

If you would like to stick with an American company, then maybe get a
Microsoft Office 365 subscription for 56 Euros per year. It includes IMAP, EXCHANGE, OneDrive, ms office apps, ms office online, calendar etc. I also have a subscription with them. If you register as a European citizen, their servers will be located in the Netherlands and in Ireland and protected by European privacy laws. The trick would be to order the serial number from e.g. amazon.DE, they won't ask for your home address.

You can trust all of them in handling your personal stuff with respect and not spy on you like Google or Hushmail do.
If you are looking for something special, then use CTEMPLAR based in Iceland. They are not suited for everyday mail, but the best in terms of protection. While Google never physically deletes a "deleted" email, and Switzerland and Germany and all of Europe have data retention laws that force email providers to keep backups of deleted content for e.g. in Germany 6 months long, in Iceland there is no such thing as a data retention law. If you delete an email with CTEMPLAR, it is immediately gone, physically deleted. Also, CTEMPLAR keeps no logs and encrypts your mailbox. If you use CTEMPLAR together with privnote.com or temp.pm and don't forget to delete your emails, there is no way you could be tracked. I think the free version is good enough if you use privnote.com.

PS: If there were no data retention laws, POP would be safer than IMAP since with POP emails are being deleted from the server after they were copied onto your device.
