Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.

I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?

mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.

migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.

I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.

Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:

Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:

icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)

mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB

purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)

infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited

sorted out

migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)

Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)

posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)

other recommendations: too expensive

I've been using purelymail. 10 dollars a year and you can add as many domains and make as many accounts as you want.

Serious question - as a normie I'm usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
Google = @gmail.
ProtonMail = @protonmail

How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?

Magnets, how do they work?

Yeah they give you the DNS records to add to your domain

This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don't use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its' pretty pricey compare to purelymail.

I've been using it for around a year
