I'm setting up my Nextcloud server and am at the point of needing to connect an email server. I'm not interested in selfhosting an email server (not yet anyway), and I don't particularly like Proton as my current email provider (which was what I migrated to when de-Googling my life).

What email providers do y'all like that aren't run by shady tech bros and are easy to integrate with your other selfhosted services?

Is this for me? Do you want email? Then yes, probably.

Well, you really can't argue with that logic. LOL

Seconded, been using them for years. It's just... mail. No weird stuff.

I'm liking what I'm seeing here! Most other services try to be like Google, where you can't get a mail account without also paying for drive, calendar, office, etc. All I want here is an email service, and this looks good and cheap for that.

It’s good but it’s also been bought out by, at least to me, an ‘unknown’ early this year. Since then, there’s been a couple outages though nothing too drastic. New owner also promised to only make changes that are ‘thoughtful and focused on making your experience better’ but I am still cautiously eyeing other options since then - I’ve learned never to trust those words by new owners.
