The mail service has to be affordable (around 10 euros per year). Tuta was an option but their plans are somewhat overpriced for me. Anyone using their (Tuta) free plan? How is it?

    It’s sad to me that the answer can’t be “the one you run yourself.”

    There’s theoretically no reason why everyone couldn’t run their own mail service who had a domain name. But with spam practices being what they are, self-hosted mail will get binned in most places.

      Self hosted mail is… not ideal for user privacy. First, you need to choose a provider that stores your data and probably requires your identity, or expose your IP address. Next, you need to figure out who will give you a vanity domain for these emails, and either give your identity to them or risk losing the domain. Then you need to be a Linux security expert. Then you need to hand out your vanity email address on your vanity domain, which sticks out like a sore thumb.

      You can, but it is difficult. Spam prevention has made life hard for those that want to host email.
