I can't quite pin down why exactly, but I've pivoted hard towards self-hosting these past few months. My biggest issue at the moment is finding a Gmail alternative.
Email is extremely robust though, servers will try to connect later.
@peveleigh @Doomguy I try to self-host as much as possible but with email I am willing to go with protonmail (and even pay for an upper tier). However I did learn how to set up my own email server on my raspberry pi using citadel which was pretty cool
@animist @peveleigh @Doomguy
I quite like Proton Mail. Self-hosted email can be tough because so many people are concentrated on only a handful of email providers, and so if your self-hosted email server gets flagged as spam it can be a huge pain in the ass to get off that list.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards Proton mail with a custom domain.
Proton is OpenSource, another alternative is Tutanota or Murena (Nextcloud). This are very reliable mail services.
I would recommend this - a scam would have a more professional name
I'm at a loss for words.
Proton mail is great, I use the paid tier and have multiple email addresses setup with different auto sorting folder rules. It's nice to be able to have 10 different emails on one account if needed.
Self hosting email is very painful to do for the reasons hybrid havoc explained in this thread.
Posteo.de is a great alternative to Gmail. It supports IMAP access natively and is subject to GPDR
