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’m using UberSpace for 5€/month for a few small web projects and for emails. Unlimited mailboxes, unlimited aliases. However, you have to configure it using console commands via SSH. But it’s all explained in their documentation.
Mxroute.com look for a discount offer since they have lots of good ones.
I have been using purelymail with my own domains, and at $10 a year with no limit on domains or users under those domains, it’s amazing value.
Second this, I’ve been using them for a couple of years and the service is rock solid.
Some services Ive been looking at:
I use posteo.
If you’re thinking of using your own domain, I would suggest using forwardemail.net
