Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.

I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?

mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.

migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.

I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.

Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:

Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:

icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)

mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB

purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)

infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited

sorted out

migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)

Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)

posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)

other recommendations: too expensive

      Serious question - as a normie I’m usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
      Google = @gmail.
      ProtonMail = @protonmail

      How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?

      Magnets, how do they work?

        Yeah, I didn’t know it was just one person. That doesn’t really feel umm… safe for something like email.

          It is true afaik but support has been excellent from him. Used it for a few years but switched to zoho for better support of protocols.

        I’m not a purelymail user (I use mxroute, which is more than one guy, but not much more), but I use POP3 with my e-mail, so that I’m holding onto it personally.

        And I figure that trusting a random dude is probably more reliable than trusting a large corporation. Heck, I used to have everything on Dreamhost, but then went looking for an e-mail provider because they were shifting their e-mail stuff over to some Gmail thing, and I wasn’t able to continue doing what I was doing.

        I think they eventually went back on that, probably mostly because Google is one of the least-reliable brands out there, and cut off some important aspect.

        Which is to say, that random dude would have been more reliable and provided me with better service than Dreamhost or Google.

      This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don’t use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its’ pretty pricey compare to purelymail.
