Figure I’d ask here, but I’m looking to set something up for email in the future, I’m looking into custom domains so that if something happens with one email account, then I have more security in mind to pick up from there as opposed to being screwed.

I know that fully self hosting email full stop is usually not recommended, so I’m up for any advice anyone has on that end.

        I use proton mail and love the new addition of Proton pass. It makes spoofing emails for junk/sign ups super easy too.

        Can integrate with Thunderbird via proton bridge too. Would recommend.

        If you don’t want to fully host it yourself (which I think it’s wise), then it’s a good solution.

        If privacy is important to you, ProtonMail has a good reputation, but I haven’t been keeping up with the latest developments in the area (there might be other providers that suit your needs / budget).

      Disroot support never responded to my request, even though I supported them monthly so I looked elsewhere. No complaints with mailbox.org

          Yeah. My first request was to add a couple GB to my nextcloud and get a couple aliases. Then I wanted to move my mail to them and nothing. I followed up a couple times.

          How is mailbox bothering you? I have the cheapest that allows a custom domain and I’ve never seen anything about moving to a different plan.

          Mailbox.org is great, I like that you get caldav and carddav as well. They’re very privacy conscious as well. It’s true the recent price increase doesn’t make me happy either. The service is great and I couldn’t find a better deal so I stick with them. Except for the price everything is perfect imho

    I recently bit the bullet and bought in to mxrouting’s lifetime account. 10GB, unlimited domains, unlimited accounts, “forever” (for the remainder of the time mxrouting exists) for the semi decent price of $100.

      I’m interested in this. I want to host my own Lemmy, Bookwyrm, Matrix, etc. servers but I find that not having access to appropriate password resetting is a deal breaker for not only me but for anyone I would like to join. I looked in to some email services but couldn’t find one that wasn’t charging more than it would cost to run the actual website

      With a Lifetime plan, at least it’s a one time purchase and I don’t have to have yet another subscription eating away at my bank account

      How do you like the service so far? Any issues with emails being marked as spam or being undeliverable?

        No issues so far, though I’ve only had it for a couple weeks. From the sounds of it, they go above and beyond to make sure they stay off spam lists, going so far as to cancel accounts that are being used for marketing.

        You do have a 300 outbound email limit per email account per hour, so that’s something to keep in mind. But I’d never butt up against that personally. But it could be an issue if you happen to get a lot of users, or someone decides to be a dick with “forgot my password” spam.

      Also comes with NextCloud you can use for CalDAV and CardDav. It also comes with DNS, basic web hosting and ftp but you’re limited to 10GB total.

      is mailcow the kind of thing where you can host your email server yourself without paying any reoccurring fees beyond your domain name? Im new to homelabs too and I’ve been wondering how to get started with that for a while. proton would be great for me if it was free but I’m really against reoccurring payments, I don’t even have Netflix lol

    I would go selfhosted and use a mai-in-a-box solution. Easy to setup, handles all the spam DNS settings etc and if you put it on an ip segment that is generally spammer-free, then you should have a fantastic solution (I habe used it myself for many years).

    I host my own domain and DNS and point to a web hosted provider.

    I was pretty happy with Proton mail, but moved because I wanted to provision more inboxes and the price per inbox didn’t scale great, for me.

    I needed something that allows for unlimited aliases as I’m creating an email address for every service I sign up to.

    I’m using UberSpace for 5€ a month which also allows for hosting websites. Very happy with them.
