I can't quite pin down why exactly, but I've pivoted hard towards self-hosting these past few months. My biggest issue at the moment is finding a Gmail alternative.
I would recommend this - a scam would have a more professional name
I'm at a loss for words.
My problem with self hosting something like email is that I'm used to not consistently having power/internet, in some cases (Ex:jellyfin) that's not something I care about, but with an email server I worry about missing something becouse I lost connection for a few hours
Email is extremely robust though, servers will try to connect later.
@peveleigh @Doomguy I try to self-host as much as possible but with email I am willing to go with protonmail (and even pay for an upper tier). However I did learn how to set up my own email server on my raspberry pi using citadel which was pretty cool
Proton is OpenSource, another alternative is Tutanota or Murena (Nextcloud). This are very reliable mail services.
Posteo.de is a great alternative to Gmail. It supports IMAP access natively and is subject to GPDR
