    Mxroute with thunderbird as a client and mail on iOS for mobile.

    Unlimited domains and rock solid. Just don’t expect lots of hand holding the company focuses on making email work you have to sort out your own details. That being said they have good documentation.

      2nd Mxroute. I got the black Friday deal a few years ago. I love using the catchall to make emails on the fly for when I sign up for different services.

        I do exactly the same thing. Some more spam from time to time but usually thunderbird catches that for me.

    I use gmail and my own domain with uninbox. The latter is a quite new FOSS email front/backend, but its still very new and lacks essential features.

    If I’d make the switch, it would probably be to tutanota.

    I use Gmail and the client I use is the browser along with the Gmail app on Android. … Yeah, I know, not a very interesting or fun answer lol.

    I used to pay for Gmail, then I used Proton Mail about a year, and I’ve been using Fastmail for the last couple of years, which I recommend. I don’t know of anything that’s as feature-rich and easy to use as Fastmail. You may not be interested in all those fancy features, though.

    I use MacOS/iOS Mail clients, but also Thunderbird as I’m trying to wean myself off of Apple’s ecosystem and onto Linux/FOSS.

      +1 for fastmail… it’s one of those products that isn’t trying to trick you… you pay for it, and it’s just a solid product that tries to be the best at what it is…

      it’ll let you have as many domains and aliases as you like, including wildcards for email (and lets you reply/send appropriately using any of those aliases)

      it’ll let you pull all your calendars and push events into a single one of your choosing - it doesn’t have to be theirs

      i could probably replicate some of what it does with my home server, but it’s really nice that i don’t have to

        I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.

          yeah i have my single email account setup with 5 different domains and a multitude of different aliases - including *@auto.<mydomains> so you can sign up for throwaway service@auto.mydomain and nobody knows that it’s a throwaway so it never gets blocked by services (and the + trick in emails is well known by people doing nefarious things with email - they’ll automatically strip the wildcard part out so it can’t be traced)

    gmx.com

    It used to don’t require phone number

    I recommend it if you’re not using for privacy sensitive use cases, has both IMAP and pop3 for free

      It’s been years since I’ve used their service but back then they were notorious for tricking users into signing up for their premium service with dark patterns and making it very hard to cancel. Which is why I left them and have dissuaded anyone from ever using their services.

    Proton, yes. There are some criticisms to make regarding them, but I think most are either blown out of proportion or a non issue for the majority of people.

    I pay for a Google workspace account, but I’ve been thinking about self hosting. I’ve had my eye on mailcow for a bit, does anyone recommend?

    Tuta, wouldn’t really recommend it since I can’t use it with Thunderbird or as an SMTP server

    Purely Mail, yes; so long as you’re comfortable with one guy running the service.

    Thunderbird for desktop and K-9 for Andriod. Only because they were the most recommended and completely fit my needs.
