Sorry, this has been brought up a number of times obviously, but I figured I’d still give it a shot. I’m not self-hosting email, because it sounds like a huge PITA. I was looking for a decent email provider, but coming up short for now, wonder what people here are using. My requirements:

  • support for a custom domain,
  • support for hooking up my applications via SMTP (just to send, like, update notifications, nothing spammy),
  • (optional, but would be good to have) nice apps for Android/iOS.

Things I’ve tried (all paid subscriptions):

  • Fastmail - felt excellent until I tried actually using it and found that 1) my SMTP messages are lost/delayed by a few hours. 2) SMTP-sent messages are not in the Sent folder, which makes things really hard to track. More details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/181tnuf/experience_with_fastmail_as_a_new_user/
  • Proton Mail - doesn’t have SMTP support, wat.
  • Purelymail - feels a bit hackish to me, and I don’t want my wife to input weird IMAP settings on her phone.

Any good recommendations? Thanks a lot!

    How about lark suite, I haven’t tried, but have been meaning to, I’d you’re happy with Gmail, Zoho, I’d say it’s equivalent.

    I like infomaniak with their UI, although if you are not in Europe it’s hard to sign up and I’d love to finally sign up to purely mail, but Cloudflare email forwarding covers what I need.

    Here’s an outdated list. https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuitelegacymigration/s/xsimVL9oJA
