ooh this looks interesting. im so dependent on gmail its a little scary. whats the best way to host ones own email nowadays? (not moving off gmail anytime soon, but maybe for some less important accounts)
Guess I'm plugging Migadu again! (https://www.migadu.com/) (not related to them, just a satisfied user)
From a previous comment of mine:
> Migadu is another awesome email solution. For my family and myself, we're on the "Micro" plan which works out to be 1.5 USD per month (but paid yearly). For smaller organizations and projects, we're on the "Mini" plan which is 9 USD per month.
Interesting, but my quick search of the Migadu site turned up nothing about support for "tags", formally "keywords" as stored in the Flags Message Attribute of IMAP:
Any email provider would be short of useless without supporting flags from IMAP, as that's what email clients use to see if an email has been read or not, if I'm not mistaken.
AFAIK, Migadu supports most if not everything from IMAP. I'm using tags via Thunderbird and have no issues syncing it between multiple computers and Migadu.
Consider creating a server that gmail forwards mail to. If your server goes down, it goes down. If gmail locks you out of your account, you should be able to continue to receive your important emails.
There are docker solutions for running a full stack that can receive and send.
