I just recently signed up for Infomaniak (www.infomaniak.com) which I believe meets all those requirements, although I can't speak for their uptime, because I haven't used it long enough.
It does let you use IMAP on the free account, which is what drew me to them.

Do you know if they have multiple data centers and can fail-over when one barfs? I'm willing to pay a little extra for a SLA. Also, cyberinsider.com thinks Fastmail is in bed w/ the feds cause they have data centers in the states. Is that accurate? meh. I dunno.

Thx for the info, though.

"What is your threat model?"
If you want to stay entirely outside of the reach of the US gov, stick with Proton and eat the outages. If you are willing to take on some more risk, try Fastmail. Consider the subject comms and whether higher risk comms should instead be in something like Signal.
