Recommended free webmail providers.

Hey! New here, and I was wondering exactly what you people here would recommend. I've currently tried:

Protonmail
Mailo
Mail.com
Gmail
and Tutanota.

Also; does anyone know of a reliable web-based IMAP client? I've looked at Rainloop.net and Mail2web, but I'm not really sure if they're trustworthy. Thanks in advance!

I'm basically just looking for options to run on my organization's Chromebooks, because "Web Browser As An OS" is annoying.

On a Chromebook stick with Gmail or Google's Workspace if you are a business. Microsoft 365 or Business Basic or whatever it is called these days is an option if you are wedded to Word, Excel, and Outlook. I vastly prefer Gmail to Outlook.com though. When on a Chromebook you have to embrace the web apps. I don't think you can beat Google on a Chromebook.

Webclients only work in conjunction with a mail server, usually provided by a (mail) hosting company.
Roundcube is defacto standard in this area.
