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?
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.
I use mailbox.org and I manage my own PGP keys. You can also encrypt your whole inbox with your key. To access your inbox, then, you will either have to use something like Thunderbird or give your private key to mailbox.org. And yes, I recommend using your own domain. Also, there is no free-tier.

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.
