Okay, so I tried Tuta and found the UI clunky and buggy. I tried Mailbox.org and their billing is a mess and they took my money without crediting the account. *(I have a pending ticket, we’ll see what they said.)

I do have a proton mail account, but I haven’t given them $ yet because of… well you know. Sadly, out of the three I’ve tried their product is the best.

Wondering what to check out next. I really want to ditch the G but I’m evaluating services before I jump off the ledge this time.

    I set up a mailserver in NixOS. It was a bit of time investment because I really wanted to write it myself and understand how it all fits together, but maintenance is not an issue; I haven’t touched it through 3 distribution upgrades. A friend just copied my config on a VPS and it works for them as well.

    There’s also a turnkey mailserver nix project that I haven’t tried but it seems to just work: https://nixos-mailserver.readthedocs.io/en/nixos-26.05/

    (I realize that NixOS is the new Arch, actually, but this sort of stuff is where it really shines.)
