Proton Mail are the best free ones out there, though they've had issues lately probably because they're the best. There's many good things being said about PM, they're just getting through a rough patch.
Safemail were never any good, I just didn't know it until getting shut out /default_rolleyes.gif. I agree with PTFC about staying hidden in plain sight, which you also mentioned on another thread.. but I get torn between /default_ph34r.png and /default_cool.png... so personally, I just don't trust G anything, so no gmail for me.
