      If you can pay $5/month I recommend Fastmail.

      Otherwise Disroot or Tuta are fine.

        Can’t pay for anything because of Iran sanctions disconnecting our payment system from the rest of the world, I tried to sign up for disroot, but their pointless tutoring test rejected me for liking potato based foods when it asked me for one of my favorite foods

          That sucks. Are you able to pay in crypto? I know a lot of the privacy based services take that and other alternative forms of payment.

            Yeah, we have exchanges here for crypto, I have a monero because I heard it’s the best for privacy

            I use anonaddy for everything so I can just change my recipient email, and I can’t pay for mailbox because of sanctions on my country Iran, mailbox doesn’t have support for crypto, so I can’t buy it

      self host? it’s not expensive and generally will be cheaper then paying $12+ a month with other places

      For example I’m in Canada and while I do have my own dedicated ubuntu server I also have a web hosting plan with a local company here. I pay $50 a year for a decent sized server to host my portfolio and various other websites as well as unlimited IMAP and/or SMTP emails. I just went with that. the domain was included with the price of everything. So now I have personal email account, a client facing email account, a general inquiry email account, and a bullshit spam/account verification email.

        I heard in the self-hosting community in here that I shouldn’t host email if I don’t find a good provider I will take the last resort self-hosting, but I don’t know if port 25 can be opened in my ISP
