ProtonMail. It's not as polished as Gmail at this point but it works fairly well.

#22Incoming emails to my domains are routed using Cloudflare. I use Mailjet’s free tier for sending emails via Gmail.
Watch out with this approach, emails sent via mailjet will have a mailing list id and unsubscribe header, and may be deprioritised. In gmail, with the default settings, they will land in the 'promotional' tab, not the main inbox.

I was worried about emails not ending up in the inbox, but so far it hasn't been an issue.
It even has this Gmail label > Important according to Google magic

#24Some here use Fastmail [1] with their domains. Others run their own self hosted mail servers. Fastmail is probably less expensive and less hassle unless one has a bit of knowledge of setting up mail servers. I don't know gsuite pricing or if this is a better option for your use-case.

+1 on this. I self hosted for years but it became a time sink, so I moved everything to Fastmail.

#25My domain registrar (gandi) provides email hosting with roundcube for free. I always used it via imap however.

That's not true anymore (from September on).

#28If you are an Apple user already, you can point custom domains to iCloud Mail. I've had some trouble with their spam filter overblocking in some cases, but since I was already paying for iCloud storage it made sense for me. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212514
Same here. So far so good, and their Hide my Email feature is very useful.

#30I highly recommend Fastmail [0] for this purpose. I have been with them for 5 years, and they're rock solid. I have ~10 domains on it, they support wildcards (send/recv at anything@you.com), the composer has sane defaults for multiple domains (e.g. replies are sent from the address it was mailed to) that can be overridden when you need, and you can easily create masked emails using your own domain.
$50/yr for all that is a steal. They don't charge you per-domain or have any funky tiered pricing for the stuff that matters.
