Some people are mentiong services like Fastmail here.
To me this sounds like replacing one "evil" with another. Can somebody please prove me wrong! Right now, I'm walking the Postfix+Dovecot+Roundcube path. Other options I'm looking into right now are:
https://www.mailpile.is/ https://www.mailpile.is/ - which look very promising
https://whiteout.io/ https://whiteout.io/ - also interesting
- hhandoko 12y agoCan you elaborate why you think Fastmail is "evil"? It's the first I heard about it (being evil). Is it because of its proprietary nature? I think solutions like Fastmail is popular because they work well, and most people would rather focus on running their business than working on mail server administration.
- zachlatta 12y agoIn terms of ownership of data, Fastmail is definitely not ideal. However, I trust a company that has a single paid product and employees committed to the point of buying the company back from their acquirer (http://blog.fastmail.com/2013/09/25/exciting-news-fastmail-staff-purchase-the-business-from-opera/ http://blog.fastmail.com/2013/09/25/exciting-news-fastmail-s...) more than a company with a free product committed to monetizing me and my data. I recently switched from a setup similar to yours (Postfix+Dovecot+sup) to Fastmail because I'll never have to worry about deliverability again and Fastmail's web client is miles beyond anything else other there, especially the open source offerings (Mailpile looks promising though! I'm hoping this won't stay the case).
