I switched from google to Proton and it’s been solid.

Don’t be your own email admin. Get a $1 CPanel host from anywhere and you’re good to go.

I wouldn’t host my own email server.

If I was to migrate my legacy Workspace, I’d move it to M365…

Yeah, it’s not self hosted, but sometimes, not being at fault for something that’s broken… Would be nice!

I have delivery to the inbox of all major providers using this. Email is not that hard…

for email, there’s gmx

You can check Purelymail if it can suit your req for mail.

I’m so tired of people saying self-hosting email is hard or unreliable. I’ve been using Mailcow for probably 5 years now and I’ve had very little issues ever with it once I fully set it up. I’ve been blacklisted a total of twice and both times were because I hadn’t set up reverse DNS properly.

Sure, if you just set up your email on a new domain with a $5 VPS it’s going to take a little bit to build up your sender reputation with major email providers, but that’s no reason to just give up completely.

Email is not new technology, it is not hard to set up and maintain. Mailcow even has a built in tool that checks your DNS records out and tells you what to set everything to and if it’s currently correct or not. It also has Nextcloud helper functionality that lets you authenticate Nextcloud users against Mailcow users with OAuth.

I host email for all of my family and some automated mailer accounts for my website and I’ve had no issues, it’s probably been the most problem-free service I host.

+1 for Mailcow, it’s easy to maintain and painless to set up :)

Just use mailbox.org or posteo. They’re cheap and reliable

I use cloudflare, the free tier, that includes email associated to your domain. In essence it will route email messages to any domain/address you own to a destination. Say outlook.com or gmail.com free email tier.

If you want unlimited accounts I’d recommend mail cheap

Proton mail

If you are really looking to be hosted for nothing at all, check out disroot.org. I use them for my primary email account. They also host Nextcloud.

Well the obligatory mention that selfhosting email is more headache than what its worth. You don’t wan’t to be told from expecting recipient that email from you never arrive since their provider blackholed your mail into oblivion.

Try mxroute for email. Currently theres ongoing black friday promo for $15 triennially. https://mxroute.blackfriday/

For nextcloud I would recommend using the all-in-one setup, but as far as email you might want to use an already existing solution rather than trying to host it yourself. I would recommend protonmail for your email since all the other common options like Microsoft and Google are not privacy respecting.
