#12iCloud+ accounts support bring your own domain. Then use SMTP connections from your app to send messages. I suppose there's no native support for any type of hook connection but could probably achieve that effect if you wanted to pay for Zapier or a similar service.

#13Custom domain through porkbun ($1.5-12 yearly, depending on the TLD).
Email through purelymail ($10 yearly, no hard limits on anything).

#15Zoho is pretty cheap and not bad. They also own Zeptomail [1] that is meant for transactional emails, also cheap and you can even buy credits in advance. Haven't tried it yet though.

#17I've found Mailgun's services to be pretty good. Admittedly I haven't tried many of the alternatives in recent years, but we use Mailgun to send a few hundred thousand transactional messages per month at my day job and they have been good. For my personal side projects, their free plan has been sufficient enough that I've never paid for usage.
Mailgun is great. I keep coming back to it after trying many alternatives.

#18For small scale stuff, it's not difficult to run a mail server on a VPS.
I use dovecot for IMAP.
SMTP, there are tons of options...
