Hi everybody,

I've had a domain name at Gandi.net for quite a while, which included 5 email addresses as well, hosted on my domain. Now they're however discontinuing this offer, it will now be €3,99 per month per mailbox.

So, I've been looking around a bit. I need a service that allows me to connect it to my own domain name, that actually allows IMAP instead of requiring a special client, and preferably should allow me to put up several mailboxes under the same account since I currently have mailboxes for some of my family members.

Security is not a concern since this is only intended to be used for the email I send and receive under my actual legal name, and I know better than to use email for confidential material.

Zoho Mail seems like a good deal, since they have 10GB per user for only €1,13 a month. I'm just afraid that my emails might end up in spam filters since they're based in India.

Fastmail is awesome. If you want to set it up as receive only, you can set up CloudFlare email forwarding for free and have it forward to your regular account.

I'm very happy with fastmail for a similar use case to OP. Definitely a strong +1 fron me!

I’ve got Fastmail set up for myself (more tech savvy) and for my wife (it needs to ”just work” and easy like Google), and I’d say it’s a solid balance between wanting to do a bit more with the email and a rock solid just works email. At $5/mo (or $50/yr) per user, it’s not cheap, but I think the service is quite good and I’ve been extremely happy with the service provided. I also never have issues with SMTP access for my home server, I don’t think my mail has ever been sent to spam for any of my family or even sending reminders to my work email.

Their iOS app has also replaced the default / native iOS mail app because it’s just that good, which is a nice plus.

The ability to see up sieve filtering is great too. I've got a massive script that automatically sorts and files away most of my emails.

I want to like Proton Mail, but their sieve filtering kind of sucks, and with large mailboxes it slows down to an almost unusable amount.

I've also been extremely happy with fastmail. LOVE the subdomain addressing, ability to use folders or labels for organization, and the integration with bitwarden.

Be aware that the Australian government's Assistance and Access bill allows them to compel local companies like Fastmail, or even employees of local companies without the awareness of their employers, to implement backdoors in their software without informing anyone about it.
