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

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

Not for everyone, but self-hosting isn't so bad.

I've found it to not be worth the hassle. I think it really isn't worth it for a very select few people who are super dedicated to self hosting it.

I'm running my own mail server at home. It wasn't all that difficult to set up, using SNM.

The biggest hassle happens when my home IP changes (that's when my router dies for longer than the DHCP lease time), andI have to re-allowlist my home IP in Office365 and whatever the other one was. I get an automated response to the 1st email I send, with instructions how to unblock my IP.
