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.

If you want your own domain name (i.e. [email protected]) you can buy it from namecheap or godaddy. Then you can set it up for free on Zohomail. Its what I did for my small business

I switched to disroot and am so far super happy with it. especially because it comes with a lot of nice features like file transfer and cloud storage. its also free.

I'm considering moving to disroot as well.

its also free.

That it is, but please consider donating as it's also non-profit :)

I absolutely would recommend purelymail.com as well. I do self-host but this is quite a big undertaking, and even then you can occasionally get deliverability problems. For business use I would definitely use purelymail.

Runbox is pretty good, webmail isn't amazing but just use Thunderbird and FairEmail with IMAP

is Apple iCloud Mail good to use?

As an email service, sure: it does pretty much all you would want. But from a privacy perspective there are better options.

hmm, a shame that this website is not listing anything on the icloud mail in regards to privacy. would be nice if it would show what problems are with it in terms of privacy
