    Protonmail is probably at the moment the best Countermail alternative, depending on your needs. PM is more user-friendly and Swiss law > Swedish for privacy. But PM uses browser-based javascript to let you into your account, has only mobile-based 2-factor authentication, no PGP key export/import and no calendar. (These last two things will soon be fixed.) PM has a larger development team and greater public exposure, so it will probably develop faster into a good long-term solution.

    Tutanota could be considered a good Countermail alternative because, like CM they use end-to-end encryption to make sure that only encrypted versions of your data are stored on their severs. This means they can't read your emails, only you can. They also support sending encrypted emails using the PGP standard. However, Countermail and Tutanota don't have exactly the same feature set or look-and-feel.
