Sweden is part of 14-eyes. I realize this may be naive or already answered, but I don't see why I should trust any service in one of those 14 countries. When things are down to the wire, can anything in Sweden really guarantee any greater level of privacy?

I'd like to know which email provider(s) you use outside the 14-eyes, assuming you're not self-hosting. There are some privacy focused and relatively cheaper ones that avoid the five-eyes, but end up being in the nine-eyes or 14-eyes countries.

Note: I'm not considering ProtonMail (Switzerland) as relatively cheap. I came to know about CTemplar (Iceland), but that shutdown a month ago.

$4.22 (USD) a month is really not that bad for Protonmail, fwiw. (12 month, cheaper for 24-month) That's nothing compared to a Netflix or HBO max subscription.

Also, the Swedish government can't compel Mullvad to divulge information that it doesn't have.
