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.

    Also, you can give it out email aliases for work or to other people without giving away that you’re actually a conspiracy nut and privacy enjoyer. Much better when it’s @mailbox rather than @tutanota or @protonmail

      Or you can also not care what other people think. I think proton.me sounds pretty cool. I’m a physicist too so it kinda makes sense. Tutanota allows quite a few short domains; tuta.io sounds a bit funny but it’s short enough to not be strange.

      When I am forced to give my email for electronic receipts in shops though…it’s a full on {shop_name}@handle.anonaddy.me. No issues or weird looks so far.
