Every company has to comply with the laws of the country in which they operate, and no company is going to go to jail for you. There’s other encrypted email providers, but they will still have to abide by their local laws. The best you can hope for is that they have minimal data on you and that anything potentially incriminating is encrypted and can only be decrypted by you.
Assnuts. They’d not go to jail anyway. Companies pay fines at most, you might arrest a specific legal representative (one of 123456789 employees of the company) for three days while the lawyer comes up with better papers, but companies never, meaningfully go to jail.
I mean, you need to abide by laws even when you self host. I’m not saying it’s likely, but if you self host and the authorities legally demand records from you, are you prepared to go to court or prison over it?
If anything, self-hosting puts you more at risk, since in that case the government will know exactly who to lock up, or $5 wrench, until they get the information they want
Dang! So what’s the preferred email app? The preferred email provider?
For all questions: your own.

My nose keeps pointing towards selfhosting. TY!

Lol what?
If I am in control of the data and I have a reason to don’t disclose said data, guess what’s gonna happen as soon as they demand it?
Destruction of evidence is also a crime in most places.
What evidence?
Any legal service has too give away what they save to the authorities by law. So you need to find an email service that saves nothing about you.

That includes you, my dude.
