I’ve been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I’m afraid I won’t have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I’m not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

    I think the biggest reason is because it’s relatively new and less tested. Did get approved on privacyguides.org recently, so it’s probably worth taking the 10 gb free storage and give it a go.

    Edit: One thing that might be seen as a negative, compared to Tutanota and Proton is that Skiff is based in the US.

      Well, you know, e-mail gives you complete privacy only in special cases. There is a reddit’s comments thread about this. Non-gmail e-mail is only needed to avoid monitoring by the mail service provider.

      TL;DR If you need complete privacy of communication, use Matrix-based software with your own server located in a neutral country.
