Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail.

Don’t mind if it’s a paid service if it’s robust.

    I’m using a combination of Postfix and Cyrus IMAPd.

    Granted, probably not what OP was asking for, but privacy wise, this is almost certainly more water tight than any of the other options.

      Same, Postfix but still using Dovecot for the IMAP server. Works just fine still though.

      Please would you elaborate or point me in the direction of further information? This looks interesting.

        Honestly, that was a bit of a wise crack. What I am doing with those two things (plus a number of other that are required these days, notably for DKIM) is running my own mail server.

        Fair warning: Doing that costs money, time and effort, and messing it up can lead to… interesting results. (You usually don’t want “interesting” for something as fundamental as your email.)

        If you are still interested, join us in [email protected]. (Still figuring out how to properly link to a community on lemmy. In the meantime, look for it under “Communitys”.)

        The postfix mail server can be found here: https://www.postfix.org/
        The Cyrus IMAP server can be found here: https://www.cyrusimap.org/

        Additionally, I also use roundcube so I can have a web interface for email.
