I've been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I'm afraid I won't have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I'm not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

been using Tutanota and Skiff, had no issues so far

Another vote for tuta here. Very nice service and having my email @ be tuta.io is very satisfying

Skiff doesn't work with IMAP, so Outlook, Thunderbird, K-9-Mail and other Clients won't work

Neither does Tutanota, I have (cheapest) paid plan and their client is shit.

I use StartMail, they support IMAP

yeah true 👍. i just responded to what OP asked, "sign up websites" and send basic emails

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, my bad, I didn't read the entire post. In that case all options should be fine, I also have a skiff-mail but I'm not that sure about their privacy policy.
