I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I’m not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

    I switched to disroot and am so far super happy with it. especially because it comes with a lot of nice features like file transfer and cloud storage. its also free.

      I’m considering moving to disroot as well.

      its also free.

      That it is, but please consider donating as it’s also non-profit :)

        Can I ask how you deal with it? Free tutanota lacks even the most basic features i.e. offline mode/search. I switched to proton after a month, it was infuriating

          I just use it for ordering stuff and for registering to newsletters. It’s fine, but yeah sometimes you want to find older emails and it’s a pain in the ass to do that, because of the search function.

      +1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.

        No SMTP or IMAP as it’s an E2EE service and unlike Proton they don’t (yet anyway) have a “bridge” service. You get to use your own domain, a handful of aliases, and a generous amount of storage all on the free plan with higher limits on the paid plans.

        Anyone looking for standard mail protocol support and gobs of storage for free/cheap and who are cool with a very non-sexy 90s web UI, would do well to check out the European provider mail.ee . They’ve been reliable for me over the past year or so though I’m not exactly a high-volume customer.
