Email hosting service where you can use your own domain? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi everybody,

I've had a domain name at Gandi.net for quite a while, which included 5 email addresses as well, hosted on my domain. Now they're however discontinuing this offer, it will now be €3,99 per month per mailbox.

So, I've been looking around a bit. I need a service that allows me to connect it to my own domain name, that actually allows IMAP instead of requiring a special client, and preferably should allow me to put up several mailboxes under the same account since I currently have mailboxes for some of my family members.

Security is not a concern since this is only intended to be used for the email I send and receive under my actual legal name, and I know better than to use email for confidential material.

Zoho Mail seems like a good deal, since they have 10GB per user for only €1,13 a month. I'm just afraid that my emails might end up in spam filters since they're based in India.

It took me around 4 hours to get to that point, and sometimes my mail would still go into junk, especially on gmail inboxes.

You were way faster than me 😂

Gmail worked for me, but some bigger German providers just refused to accept my mail. I used a website that tested the server config and gave hints how to proceed. That was incredible helpful.
