It's email, that's the best you can get with email, if you want to have more privacy, DON'T USE EMAIL
This is good advice, because email is very difficult to make reliably private. However, it's not the best you can get. Tutanota, for example, stores headers with E2EE, and still has a search function.
The goal should be to make it as private as it can realistically be. Ideally, any cloud service you use should only store end-to-end encrypted data.
I'm not trying to shit on Proton — it's a huge step up from the popular mainstream email services, and the inclusion of cloud storage makes it a much easier transition than going piecemeal with 2-5 different services.
