I'm setting up my Nextcloud server and am at the point of needing to connect an email server. I'm not interested in selfhosting an email server (not yet anyway), and I don't particularly like Proton as my current email provider (which was what I migrated to when de-Googling my life).

What email providers do y'all like that aren't run by shady tech bros and are easy to integrate with your other selfhosted services?

Fastmail. It’s been around forever and it just works. And they don’t do anything weird with SMTP/IMAP.

mailbox dot org is also pretty good, but I wasn’t a fan of their 2FA implementation.

When did you try mailbox.org last? they improved 2FA this year. It is now TOTP + possibility to make application passwords. Finally works great!

Ah very nice, good to hear they addressed that. It was the only real deciding factor last time I moved my mail around ~2 yrs ago

Plus, if you are a 1Password user, it integrates to give you randomly generated email addresses.

Fastmail is probably the best, but their pricing is egregious.

I was with them for a decade or so but with a large archive of emails and multiple users i couldn't justify the cost.
