This is not really "email provider" but how about hosting your own email server? I'm hosting mine since 2012. This is not one-click thing, you need to understand many concepts (which if you don't know about may result in your emails landing in spam) - so I would not recommend if you just want to have an email account now. I'm collecting my lessons and building a set of podman containers to make the whole thing less of the hassle, I'm thinking about publishing this on github, though I'm not sure if there are people like me who would make use of thing like this.
- syntaxing 5y agoI love the idea of self host but my greatest fear is what you mentioned, being marked as spam. Have you had that happen to you where your emails wont reach people because its marked spam?
- ramtatatam 5y agoI have experienced it at some point in 2017. That day I learned about helpful websites you can use to rate your email (which is helpful because you can realize that your domain/IP is blacklisted somewhere for previous owner was spamming from it). In 2017 I learned I have to add DKIM and SPF and had no problem with spam since then. But this thought me a lesson to go through ratings every now and again, just to stay up to date with new mechanisms that are being used by biggest email providers (gmail, yahoo, etc).
