Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi all,

I have had several shots at self hosting email over the years and my last attempt failed due to my home IP being in a dynamic pool. I thought I might try again, this time with a basic web hosting provider that I could set up email on. Any suggestions for a free/cheap provider with decent uptime?

Thanks

Check out infomaniak. You get an unlimited (inbox storage) email account when you buy or transfer a domain with them.

Has imap, pop3, native apps for iphone and android plus a (imo) really nice webmail client.

The company is very pro privacy too if the important to you.

I'm on my second year as a customer. Can recommend.

Couldnt tell you, but probably. Check their docs, which are pretty comprehensive.

I use them as IMAP storage for a few mailing lists I am subscribed to (but not for my main emails), but they do reject legitimate emails from time to time (not often, but it does happen - and those emails don't show up in "Spam" or any logs).

That is frustrating. Does that mean those emails don't show up even when you loud in to the webmail?
