Hello all,
I’m looking to switch over to move privacy focused setup, so far i have a VPN, and will be making other changes. Is there any email providers that you know respect privacy, or how one would do this?
Use a web hosting and domain provider (eg mythic beasts), and get a email@yourdomain.tld email address. Or self host the server, if you have the ability, then you just need to buy the domain.
I have a domain name from namecheap im not using. self hosting is not possible. i could web host but wouldn’t that get pricey?

Plus your own domain
With your own domain, you can always change email providers without changing your address.
You can get a catch all address so you can have many many many many different addresses you can use. Which is helpful for privacy. Siloing each service into its own email address. It gives you optionality
someone offered a service here to just host my own. im in the process of doing that.
Self-hosted if you have the skills for
PS: I don’t know your needs but emails are inherently insecure, if possibly avoid it
Another plus one for Proton with your own domain.
Self hosting sounds good, but it’s fraught with mines that if you don’t know what you’re doing can take from “can’t send email because my domains been back listed” to “everything in my network is now sending spam to the entire world”. Sure, many folks self hosting sounds with no issues, but the price for configuring something wrong can be steep and IMO is just not worth the trouble and risks when there are good options for encrypted, privacy protecting email services for a reasonable price.
