By commenting that you are European, are you trying to stay out of the US hosting megalith entirely?

Fastmail has been a great provider for me but, despite being Australian, I believe they are US hosted.

I'm not trying to protect against a governmental entity, so I'm happy to use an US based provider. I provided the extra info in case any US provider requires additional steps for non US customers.

You can always use Outlook.com

Some domain registrars also offers free email services with domain purchase, Gandi.net being one of them.

Posteo (which i use) and mailbox are great paid options For free e-mail you'd go with protomail or tutanota

zoho.com has a free tier that includes the ability to use your own domain, which gives you the flexibility to change providers if ever necessary.

I've been extremely happy with zoho.com for all my business email. If I had any problems with Gmail I'd probably move everything over, but if there's one other service I'd recommend it'd definitely be Zoho.
