Basically, the title. I have the domain, and have used it in the past with Google Workspace and MS365, but both of those services enshitified, so I’m looking for something that won’t screw me.
Don’t really care about things like password manager, VPN, cloud drive, etc. Just looking for email service for about 5 users that can be configured to work w/ native email clients on macos, windows, linux, iOS (so Proton & Tuta are out). Anyone have any experience with this? Really don’t want to roll my own.
I migrated over to Proton last night before realizing that I had to set up the bridge for it to work on macos mail, and can only use the nativ client on mobile. So, trying to find something soon, so I can cancel within the 30-day period.
This is c/selfhosted. This is not the forum to ask for advice about email services you don’t directly control. There are some self-hosted options provided in the comments already. Locking this post to prevent further non-selfhosted discussions.
I’ve been on purelymail.com for a couple of years. Receive about 1000 emails a month and send out about 50. Averaging around $0.40/month. They also have a flat rate option of $10/year as long as you don’t abuse the system.
Check out Infomaniak which has more than just email so could be useful if looking for more of a like for like replacement for O365. If you just want email, somebody mentioned mailbox.org which I have also used and is good.
I’ve been using fastmail for a long time for this now. I’ve been happy, not to expensive. I’m surprised they haven’t been recommended, normally when the question is asked there are a million fastmail recommendations
mailbox.org works for me
@d00phy Try out mxroute or namecrane. Both are working fine.
You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.
Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.
I can’t recommend Purelymail enough. Cheap (10€ per year), and you can have as many accounts and inbox space as you. You can also connect as many domains as you want.
I use Netcup web hosting for my email with my own domain. The cheapest option is €2.17 a month for 50 GB including a domain.
This looks interesting. I’m guessing you’re talking about managing email addresses in the dashboard like outlined here? Looks interesting. I’m currently on a shared hosting plan at Dreamhost, and I honestly don’t know what/if I want to use it anymore. Everything’s in docker now, and I’m looking at spinning up a VPS for “always on” stuff.
I suggest stalwart mail, it can run in a binary or in docker, https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart also +1 for mailcow.

I’m using Migadu - I used Purelymail before, it was great but I’m trying to avoid US-based services.
But if you have a static IP with a decent reputation (you can check your ip here: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx), self-hosting email isn’t as hard as some say. I’ve been using Mox for ~6 months for my non-essential email and it’s been maintenance-free after the initial setup - if it goes another 6 months without a hiccup I’ll probably migrate my family email to it.
Inleed.xyz has free email hosting with IMAP and POP3 access. You can have as many accounts as you want, but there’s a limit of 1GB shared between all of them.
Fastmail for 5 users will be on the expensive side. Further downscale: mxroute, cranemail, and
migadimigadu should all be ok.
