Unrelated but: what VPS hosts are reliable for email? I've had trouble with Linode being blocked in the past. I'm aware Google Cloud blocks port 25. I haven't tried EC2 but I assume the worst.
I got good results with Hetzner. But it takes some time to set up a server that complies with all of Google requirements. Also, I once inherited a spammy IP address and took me some time to remove it from spam databases.
I’ve been using YunoHost ( https://yunohost.org/ ) for my VPS setup for years, including emails, and the setup is such a breeze. It takes care of everything from certs to spam detection, includes IMAP, and you can even choose you webmail interface. Maddy sure looks like a great alternative if you just want/need emails.

This is not (always) true. Maddy comes with a lot of the 'good stuff' like DKIM and DMARC ready to be used, whereas setting that up yourself with Postfix was a pain (from my experience a few years ago) and probably meant you didn't bother. I've had better deliverability, especially to Gmail and Microsoft, since using Maddy, probably for this reason. Now, of course, I must admit that self-hosted e-mail seems like it w…

What hosting service do you recommend to run it on?
I use Hetzner, personally. Did a bit of a cost analysis here: https://figbert.com/posts/moving-to-hetzner-from-digitalocea...
I see no one has mentioned Mailu ( https://mailu.io/1.7/ ). It’s a self hosted mail server made up of a couple docker images. I would recommend it based on my use and experience. I’ve been using it for my personal email and for automated no-reply messages in a few projects with no delivery issues. I’m hosting on a Contabo VPS. It handles spam with rspamd, sets you up with DMARC, DKIM, has an admin interface, web mail…
Is catch-all supported? Couldn’t find an answer to that in the FAQ.
I guess that needs to be in FAQ...
How complete is the IMAP4 support?
There are no known issues with popular clients but performance may be a bit rough. Both due to missing extensions and storage implementation quality e.g. SEARCH may get slow for large inboxes.
