Thought I'd have another look at mail providers, but from what I can see, none support the features I use with fastmail (custom domain, security key, unlimited on-the-fly aliases for sending).

They don't, but you shouldn't feel too bad as fastmail is australian, ie not american, which (at least personally) is where we're trying to divest.

  Their servers are in the US

    Do they have any plans to move off the US?

      No plans according to some recent reddit threads, but you can probably email their support for a more up-to-date info.

  US servers, though.

I've been looking at mail providers too, and it's starting to look there are no real alternatives. Not just in Europe, but worldwide. I've been a happy user of Fastmail for quite some time now, and it's sad the the current geopolitical situation pressures me into migrating away. The alternative that's looking best to me so far is Kolab Now. I don't see a lot of user reviews of it on Reddit though, or anywhere else, so it seems to not be very popular at first sight. That's perhaps not a good sign. In any case I'm planning on trying it out for a while, with a domain I don't use it all that often, before deciding to migrate to it.

  Doesn’t seem to support on-the-fly aliases for sending, requiring instead to set it up in advance. I use a custom mail per website/contact workflow, and with FM any reply uses whatever alias I used to receive the mail, with the option to change it to whatever I want without extra steps.

Gandi.net offers mail with custom domain and unlimited aliases. You need to have your domain registered with them though.

  I wouldn't consider them an option since they got bought and had extreme price rises.

    If you consider single digit €/m "extreme", sure ...

      I’m glad you don’t care enough about money that tripling the price of something is not extreme, but most people would disagree.
