Im tried of giving my data to google for all my email needs. Preferably I would like to use the thunderbird client.

I also have a number of self hosted services. I used to run my own email server, but ATT no longer allows the ports open and I want to move away from self hosting that solution. Figured I would ask people what they use here, since Im assuming others are in a similar situation.

Any suggestions?

    I am using proton essentials plan it gets you ten custom emails that you can use with three custom domains.

    So I use one email for my game servers so those services use that then I have another general use email for sending info like recently added plex content or alerts from my server then a few mix and match for random stuff.

    Not the cheapest but now I’m also using their calendar which is nice. I don’t use any desktop clients though I prefer to keep as much stuff in the browser

      Iirc SMTP and whatnot is business only for Proton, so I assume you’re sending alert emails through some other service like myself, right? I’ve been using SMTP2GO’s free tier and it works well for my very low usage needs, would love to hear more about your setup if you have any tips.
