What did you switch to?

What did you switch to?
- sneak 6y agoProtonMail, but I hate their lack of native IMAP. I will switch again soon to running my own mail server.
- lifty 6y agoMigadu and Fastmail are good alternatives in case hosting your own is too much effort. I got bitten by the same issue with the lack of IMAP when moving to Tutanota, another secure email provider.
- sneak 6y agoI run my personal email on Fastmail, but I don't like the idea of them being compelled to turn over my entire mailspool on demand to intelligence agencies without a warrant, so I'll go back to hosting my own, as I did for 20 years before Fastmail. :/
- lifty 6y agoThat is one of the reasons I switched to Migadu. The other being cost, as I have several domains that receive very little mail, so the cost structure on Migadu is very attractive.
- martin_a 6y agoJust get a small hosting package from Hetzner. 3 Euro/month and you are done. Comes with a free tld, too.
- aussiedude 6y agoIsn't Hetzner heavy blocked by the large mail providers? I had similar issues with Digital Ocean, AWS, Linode etc when trying to self host. Even tried smarthosting via SES and that still made my very small volume of emails land in spam folders.
- martin_a 6y agoHm, not sure, haven't heard anything like that. Try netcup.de. I'm with them and I'm happy, mail also works without problems.
- acatsdream 6y agoIn fact, they provide an imap bridge for paid customers.
- sneak 6y agoI know, I use it (and have recompiled it to patch out the mangling of incoming PGP messages). I don't like that they don't have native IMAP.
