Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.
I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?
mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.
migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.
I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.
Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:
Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:
icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)
mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB
purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)
infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited
sorted out
migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)
Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)
posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)
other recommendations: too expensive
I’ve been using Zoho for email on my domain. My residential service blocks port 25 so being actually self hosted wasn’t going to work. I had rented a cheap VPS for $4/mo to run it on, thinking I’d have other uses for it. Eventually I just went to the Zoho free email hosting with my domain. It’s been fine for years and I’m reasonably sure it has a catch-all as well.
That one man is mxroute
Lifetime is $150 for 10gb otherwise is $40 per year for 100 gb both unlimited domains emails and aliases
I’ve been using purelymail. 10 dollars a year and you can add as many domains and make as many accounts as you want.
Serious question - as a normie I’m usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
Google = @gmail.
ProtonMail = @protonmail
How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?
Magnets, how do they work?
This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don’t use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its’ pretty pricey compare to purelymail.
Yeah, I didn’t know it was just one person. That doesn’t really feel umm… safe for something like email.
Im pretty happy with protonmail. Email is kind of important you may not want to go with the cheapest option.
Here are a couple of links to help you get a better idea of what purelymail is like:

I’m in the process of trying it out for a year before I switch over fully. Have yet to run into any issues but I’m not a heavy email user.
