Free, Easy to mail. Calendar and other add-ons are good.
Gmail (and Google) is "free" because it harvests your private information, scans your emails, contacts, and collates this against your use of YouTube, Chrome, your browsing habits, Google Drive contents, websites you visit and adverts you click... everything... The amount of information collected is massive, creepy and you'll never undo it. If a person followed you around collecting this information you'd think it was the creepiest thing.
Worse still, this information is stored on Google servers, which can be hacked or supboenad. You also have no idea who will own that information in 10 or 20 years time, how it can be used against you or other people it contains information about, or under which legal jurisdiction.
Others who may have never agreed to Gmail/Google's Terms & Conditions (including perhaps for privacy reasons), have the content of their emails scanned if they send stuff to a Gmail address. All of that is also true for Yahoo! Mail, Outlook.com/Hotmail and Yahoo! (And some others.)
Want to improve your privacy online? I recommend this as a start.
That's a good start. Then follow the info on www.privacytools.io for further advice.
Awesome list. Thanks for sharing! Switched from Google search to Qwant recently, works just as nicely.
For secure emails you could also add Tutanota. The entire mailbox is encrypted, plus it's open source.
Yes, Tutanota is end-to-end encrypted and open source. Better still, they are currently testing the beta version of their new interface, which looks awesome, judging from the screenshots. They also promised a calendar in 2017; I hope they can deliver that and attract even more people away from Gmail.
Better Privacy is NOT open source --- and is now discontinued.

Fastmail seems suspicious, because I don't trust women with coloured hair in a top position in a company. In my experience, they are most likely to be far-left leaning people who contribute to the censorship, and privacy violation when someone doesn't respect their ideologies. If these particular people are not like that, then sorry about that, but I am not sure I can still trust. In animal kingdom this is called , Aposematism, which means the use of a signal and especially a visual signal of conspicuous markings or bright colours by an animal to warn other animals that it is toxic or distasteful.
@tihedomecu Is that you, Donald?
I agree but I still use it. Cant avoid it if I wanna have a youtube account
Gmail is useful if you need a reliable and useful webmail provider. If you want something private and consumer first then Gmail isn't for you.
You are the product when you use this email service. They will sell all of your information and put all your email with random ads that no one asked for. Proton or Tuta will be a better mail service, and Proton has an alternative to their google drive stuff. It is not worth to sell your soul for a couple of GB that probably you'll never use (I have 1GB of mail and that is more than enough for me, just keep it clean :D )
I like their UI/UX. For me it's the standard and very hard to beat.
Very reliable. outlook hasnt even come close in years
Super easy to access. Love how almost all of the people in this world uses this for easy mailing
