Anybody have recommendations for providers? I've been using @mailbox_org since 2019 but the service is going downhill. They are outright blocking mail from a number of legit senders, support now takes days to respond and when it does it's not particularly helpful).

I last reviewed mail providers in 2019 here changelog.complete.org/archive .

My criteria -- it must: let me bring my own domain, by privacy-respecting, have reasonable support, not require clients other than IMAP/SMTP.

@mailbox_org Thank you all for your suggestions on providers! I wound up evaluating several, and wrote up my review here: changelog.complete.org/archive

tl;dr: I found to be fantastic, with personal support (they even added a feature within a few hours at my request!) and a good featureset. Unlike others, it's got an admin interface that is like doing the fun bits of running my own mail server without the annoying parts.

I also reviewed several others thanks to suggestions here.

@jgoerzen did you really mean to mention "rainloop" in the conclusion there? it's not mentioned anywhere else in the article, and ... uh... there are issues with rainloop, the webmail client...

@Anarcat Thanks; I meant to say Runbox. I've fixed it.
