Google is ending my G Suite legacy free edition. What are some good email hosting alternatives?

Why are you pushing that solution and seem upset when anyone says anything bad about Russia?
As far as I can tell you can only connect with Apple applications/devices or via the website. I could not find any mention of IMAP/SMTP connectivity anywhere. I spent quite a bit of time looking.

First hit on google
For only one or two email addresses yes. However, I have several, so it's more expensive than other solutions for me. I presume their per-user pricing means per email address yes?
I believe that is only for their generic
@icloud.comdomain. There is no mention of IMAP/SMTP in their custom domain setup instructions.https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/icloud/mm0e4339d289/icloud
It also seems to only support one custom domain and is targeted more for home users.
Free doesn't support SMTP/IMAP. So that's definitely not an option for me. I believe paid is per email address. Since I have several that ends up being more expensive than other solutions for me.
I can't believe people are suggesting yandex... If the fact that it's Russian based isn't a reason NOT to go this way, then you deserve what you get.
Look for a FOSS solution and host it yourself.
Ah I see, you could use aliases if all the emails are only used by you & have a pro plan on just that.
Aliases might work for me. I signed up for the free trial to test it out. So far I am really liking their UI and features.
If you're a masochist. Sure.
Is that what people call others with basic linux knowldge these day?
Managing a mail server should not be an issue. However, it does take time and time is money. Getting your mails reliably delivered is hard these days. And, nah, I don't believe in using a transactional mail service for my personal mails. That's a workaround, not a solution.
Just pay @jar some money and outsource it. Or just pay Google some money.
I use MXRoute, so it's not a problem for me, as well as MailChannels.
Yeah, it's quite great and they offer some neat features.
I found another one not often mentioned.

They don't mention domains anywhere so I have a feeling they need to be your provider for those domains.
As i'm more privacy enthusiast, i've made the choice to move on SimpleLogin or Anonaddy. Both providers are well reputed and provide "aliases" services with nice features, really helpful to host multiple domains mail without bothering with mailboxes.
I only have small teams i don't need more than that and my team can still use their own workflows on the side.
If you are really into mailboxes, check Infomaniak Mail which is cheap af and state to be privacy oriented. MXRoute could be a nice friend as well.
Google is Murican, y'know...
So I the rest of the 'free World'. You get what you pay for. You want it free, YOU are the product.
Better than Rushin
There's also Lark https://www.larksuite.com/ which does email and comes as a collaboration suite
From Bytedance so take from that what you will
Can anyone ELI5 ? What's the difference between g suite free legacy and their regular gmail.com service? Sorry I have been out of touch with some of google service
You can use your own domain with g suite, now called workspace, so
[email protected]. It also had an admin console where you could manage multiple email addresses for that domain. Other than that, you can access and configure it exactly the same as you do a free[email protected]account.Zoho has historically been pretty good
Note that Lark's CalDav is one way sync only so better use with a standalone CalDav service like Nextcloud.
It doesn't have anything to do with that. Setting up an email server on linux is easy. That's not the problem. Maybe someday you will gain enough experience to understand.
The only bad thing I am reading about Zoho is the SPAM filtering is not very good. I won't know how much of a problem that will be until I actually switch. I get very little SPAM in my GSuite SPAM folders so I think it will be ok.
So far I am liking the features and UI of Zoho. It's pretty much designed to be a drop in replacement for G Suite/Gmail.
It's a fucking hassle, don't act like it's "set and forget". Otherwise, you look like you don't use email in practice.
Try using something like Zoho, been with them for a bit now.
I've been using Zoho for a couple months now. They are not bad. I was worried about SPAM filtering but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe a few more get through but not much. I probably didn't get much to begin with.
