But how could you '... make it yourself and trust no one ...' and be on the Internet (ie have an IP address - which I understand is all that ProtonMail claims it provided authorities) at the same time. (I don't think using TOR should be considered making it yourself.)

Even if you host your own mail server, by virtue of using email and being on the Internet you would need an IP address and presumably any determined authorities could trace you? Or am I missing something?

Unless you're referring to a completely private and closed network, with no connection to the Internet?
