Cheap VPS with your own setup. Only communicate theiremailadress@yourdomain. 0 spam.
Can you elaborate on how you would make your own set up? Always meant to do this for at least enquire how but never got around to doing it. Thanks! :)

#72I'm becoming a broken record, but:
Just use Zoho Mail: https://www.zoho.com/mail/
Zoho has a history of being good: https://www.zoho.com/25/
Zoho's privacy policy: https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html
(Disclaimer: I work at Zoho).
Re: Ask HN: Looking for Email Service Recommendations
#73I recommend ProtonMail. Or you can buy your own domain name and config a email to Zoho Mail. but personally, I think proton mail is more secure and private. But the free version only has 1GB as I remember.
They cooperate with EuroPol extensively tho

#74Protonmail. I don’t see why people use fastmail (the privacy laws in Australia are among the worst in the world), when they can get the encrypted version from proton. Recently proton has offered a combo package, bundling email, vpn and storage. With client apps for proton drive, and higher storage space, it would be a great option.
Protonmail collaborate with EuroPol extensively, I wouldn't reccomend it for EU users

#75I can highly recommend mailbox.org. I have been using their service for multiple years with my own domain and never had any problems sending or recieving mails from the big providers. They also take the privacy of their users data really seriously.
Can their contacts and calendar be synced with Android?
Yes CalDav, CarDAV and ActiveSync are supported[1]. On Android you could use DAVx5 to integrate it seamlessly into the system.

Re: Ask HN: Looking for Email Service Recommendations
#76Most important is to use your own domain name for your email. That way you can switch providers as you like without having to change your address, and all the hassle that goes with that. Personally, I like Migadu for mail hosting. The mail gets delivered, the price is reasonable, and there’s good tech support
Migadu are great - I was with them for a long time, but I outgrew their cheapest plan, and went over to MXRoute, bought a lifetime plan, and haven't looked back.

+1 to ProtonMail. I've been using it for several years and was recently grandfathered into their Proton Unlimited plan that allows for additional domains, extra storage, etc. They have had technical issues a couple of times since I started using them, but support was always responsive and it's been overall a nice experience mail-wise.
In terms of their other products, I think they have quite a bit to go with Proton Drive (no widely available Android app is preventing me from switching from Google Drive) and Proton Calendar (unable to import large calendars, won't let you just import future events and ignore past entries to decrease space requirements).
Re: Ask HN: Looking for Email Service Recommendations
#78Can’t recommend Migadu enough. Rock solid service with excellent support. Happy customer for about 3 years now—not once have I been sent to spam.
Completely agree. I've moved to using proton mail for my main address purely because of the new calendar and migadu for all my other domains and side projects. If they had a calendar I'd go back to them for everything, they're great.
Migadu do have calendar/contacts but it's a bit tricky setting up, FYI.
Edit: For example, take a look at https://www.migadu.com/guides/thunderbird/ and at the end of that page there's some instructions for setting up calendar.

Reference? Also if it’s end to end encrypted between two PM accounts, Anyone could have encrypted data.
