Privacy focused email provider that compatible Mail app

[Bojack Horseman]

I'm trying to distance myself from Google as much as possible. What are some email alternatives to Google's G-mail that's more privacy focused, and that works with Apple's Mail app? Protonmail doesn't seem to work with the Mail app unfortunately . I know they have their own app, but I'm a real stickler that want to keep the default Apple apps as much as possible. Hell I'm even willing to pay a monthly subscription if I have to (within reason, like a few dollars or so).

When I googled protonmail imap it came up with this in the results:
https://protonmail.com/bridge/

Apparently, ProtonMail can run a bridge server on your computer, which provides the IMAP and SMTP protocols needed by normal mail apps like Mail.app.

There are more articles about setting up the server, client app, etc. so you should do the search yourself, or check out the links on ProtonMail's website.
