For email provider Infomaniak provides as good of a service as google for free and their paid sub is 2 euros a month for 1TB of cloud storage. They've been a great alternative for me. Just need to find a calendar app you like if you want to use their calendar as it doesn't have a mobile app.
Edit: Also I suggest getting your own domain and using that email instead so switching is easier in the future. You can set up gmail to infomaniak forwarding in Gmail settings (reply if you need help with it)
I got myself kualdir.eu for 9 euros a year and infomaniak handles the rest. Got 2 inboxes and can add aliases if I want to use those. Can always transfer the domain elsewhere if I want to switch and don't have to worry about changing my email everywhere again.
Seconding this. I'm also using Infomaniak here with my own domain, and would definitely recommend it. Their free tier comes with 15GB cloud storage on top of the 20GB mailbox cap, which is better than a lot. I'm more focused on data privacy these days, and haven't seen anything concerning about their service so far.
Infomaniak offers their own mail app for Android, but the accounts are easy enough to set up over IMAP in whatever client you prefer. I've been favoring FairEmail personally. The same developer is behind NetGuard, which you might also find handy if you're on stock Android. (I'm using GrapheneOS now, which already has app network access control covered.)
just started an account with infomaniak so far happy with infomaniak except the free email extensions like @ik.me @etik.com or @ikmail.com addresses whether will be accepted / recognized by institutions like banks etc
If you're really pinching pennies you can get a 6-digit.xyz account on namecheap for 85c (ex:123456.xyz)

I used ik.me before going to my own email and no issues with any site, its a valid email if they have issues with it honestly just take your business elsewhere cause if they can't get an email validation figured out what else can't they do well 😂
