AWS discontinuing WorkMail is a hassle I could do without. Anybody recommend any good alternatives that are easily migrated over to or should I just do it myself with something like Mailcow?

I’m in the market for a new primary e-mail service.
For varying reasons I don’t want to use services from Apple, Microsoft, Google or Yahoo.
I'm willing to pay for a service.
The service must support Mac and iOS mail clients via IMAP.
Fastmail has been recommended to me. Any other recommendations?

Thunderbird finally concocts a "Pro" version in 2025, promising to squeeze more cash from its few remaining users with a gem called "Thundermail" 💸✉️. Because who wouldn't want to pay for the privilege of using an email service from a company that took two decades to innovate? 🕰️🙄

📧✨ Oh, joy! Another "revolutionary" email forwarding service promises lightning-fast delivery and unlimited addresses because managing 30K domains and 28M emails is an obviously unique feat. 🚀 Sign up for the 7-day trial—because who doesn't love trying *yet another* email service before canceling? 🙄

NOPE! that's where the time goes, you know.
I see what it is. All of my TLD "owned domain names" are not there.
So. yep. that explains why we don't use it.
For a while, it had access to any imap.
:(are there #emailservice providers that let you setup for aggregate / inbox, several accounts like that?
#Spark email isnt free. #mailspring breaks for me, as well as #bluemail
never sending mail, waiting 15 minutes for a compose window to be drawn, composed from the wrong account, etc.that's where the time goes, you know.

So I've given @mailfence a very quick test on their Free tier.
That seems to be quite reasonable alternative for e-mail services. In som parts it's what I would expect @mailbox_org being. Except of one thing: Unencrypted incoming e-mails will not be stored encrypted.
Since I'm on the free tier currently, I've not tested the IMAP integration.
The weakness of #Mailfence and #Mailbox are that the PGP setup requires some efforts to happen. The "settings" panel on Mailfence is cleaner and better organized than mailbox.org, but the latter one is capable of ensuring all received e-mails are stored encrypted - regardless if it was encrypted at arrival or not.
PGP key management is still not as easy as it should be for non-tech users. "It should just happen automatically", is my stance here. It's close to being good, but you need to explicitly enable encryption on each mail you send - unless you reply to an already encrypted mail. This will confuse users and it will result in more unencrypted mails sent than intended.
Neither Mailfence nor mailbox.org will decrypt encrypted Subject fields.
I've briefly tested the WebDAV integration, which seems to work. But WebDAV is not end-to-end-encrypted, so uploaded data will not be stored in so-called "zero access" mode. This means the Mailfence people managing their servers can access and read your data. This will be the same for CalDAV/CardDAV too (calendar and contacts synching)
Mailbox.org recently announced they will upgrade their login system - which is long overdue. Their OTP setup is currently just confusing and very far from user friendly. Here Mailfence is very straight forward.
Both Mailfence and #mailbox_org still got quite a long way to provide a properly privacy enabled service. They're on a good path, but currently far from the capabilities of @protonprivacy, even on the most basic features in e-mail.

@limneticvillains welcome in the Fediverse. I'd recommend using hashtags when you ask these questions, for higher probability of being read, like #EmailService (click to find posts talking about it)

@filippodb avete mai valutato tra i vari servizi l'email? (forse è il più delicato di tutti) come per esempio questo #Riseup (che in verità devo ancora provare) ma vedo che tutti usano lo stesso front-end ormai:
