Lavabit alternatives?

[Jaspion]

I had only recently started using Lavabit, and I thought it was great. But, sadly, the American NSA tried to get the data from Lavabit, as they did to all American email providers, and Ladar Levison refused to give in and had to shut down Lavabit.

So far, I have not been able to find another email service with the same level of quality as Lavabit. Certainly for the privacy concerns of email, no American company can be a replacement for it now. So I was wondering if this community knows of other free and secure email providers, like Lavabit used to be.
