FYI FastMail will offer EU hosting in the Netherlands starting in August. Current customers will be able to switch their hosting location if desired. The FM CEO was answering a few questions and commenting on it in the FM reddit, too. Of course, whether this will help/hurt will depend on your particular use case and respective legal landscape/concerns.

I know FM isn’t a pure ‘security’ or ‘privacy’ provider per se, but I wanted to pass this tidbit along since many folks will use them as a more ‘private’ email provider than the usual Big Tech names.
