There used to be many, maybe Linuxmail is still around etc. but the truth
is that anything "free" is in exchange for your privacy in one way or
another. Even on some paid services, they may still put something in the
T&C such that they can share data for marketing purposes.

So IMO you are left with 2 choices:

1) Setup you own server (e.g. FreeBSD ;-)) and manage your own email server.
2) Pay some good and relatively inexpensive party to manage your email

I did (1) for years until I got fed up with controlling spam, viruses, spf,
reverse DNS, and being put (or putting others) on black lists etc. But it
works and it's free.

After I discovered HushMail I am very happy to pay the $60 or so per user
per year. It's really NOTHING if you cherish your privacy and your time:

https://www.hushmail.com

There are probably others like them, but I cannot recommend anything I
haven't used myself. And I recommend these guys two hands down.

Best and good luck,
