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 really enjoy https://mailbox.org, their custom software can be… esoteric at times, but the company and privacy commitments are top notch, and it has PGP built throughout natively, including an option to automatically PGP encrypt all plaintext emails you receive. I joined it originally as a cheaper alternative to Protonmail but these days I really prefer it.
fastmail
I’ve been using Fastmail for almost a decade now, and extremely satisfied by the service, privacy, features and price.
If you’re interested in signing up for it, I have a referral link (the above one isn’t it, I’m not that shady) you can use for a 10% discount on your first year.
Good luck with the search.
