Currently using Tutanota but they've just retired my current plan and doubled the price.

I'm looking into hosting my own email. I would like to have encryption but it doesn't function very well when both sender and receiver need to be on the same platform. In addition none of the information being sent by email is overly sensitive so it's not a must.

Anyone that's hosting their own email or has experience/knowledge of Lavabit that would care to chime in I'd be greatly appreciative.

Was planning on hosting from my home server. Will definitely read up on those protocols and the recommendations. Have certificates and domain routed through Cloudflare. ISP is Optus but it's not a business connection so that could be problematic r.e: spam filters :/

What about self hosting the IMAP but using for example Amazon ses SMTP? In this way it won't be on the blacklist

Can only recommend against hosting at home, at least in Germany all ISPs "normal user" IP addresses are on one spam list or another. I now have my mailserver setup in a VPS.
