Cheap and Secure Email Hosting
I need your suggestions about email hosting. Now, I'm searching for email hosting with these criteria:
- My budget is $2, or Rp30.000,00 and can be purchased for 1 month
- Fast and rarely down
- Not labeled spam by Google
- Support IMAP POP3
- Privacy and secure
- Open Source (like tutanota, riseup, systemli)
I dont care about storage and users capacity. 750MB and maximum 1 user is enough for me.
Thank you

@jar mxroute, no doubts here.
Either one of:
you can get cheaper if you use racknerd.com and mailinabox.email. you own everything so you are responsible for upkeep, which isn;t a lot but still.
you will be in a much better place if you go this way. i've been a racknerd customer for around 3 years now this way. bought a second email server last month for this purpose again
That's my jam right there. Though it requires users to send good mail and set good DNS, and not have a domain that already has a reputation that guarantees spam folder delivery, keeping IPs clean for the best chance of inbox delivery is a clear obsession of mine.
Tutanota not support IMAP AFAIK, and if you okay pay yearly. There migadu for that.

Is it safe to buy MXRoute through a reseller? Can the reseller be kicked out any time?
@Abd aka WebHorizon has been a reseller since 3 years ago.
Is it recurrig or just for the first year?
Yes.
is left-wing radicalism a compelling characteristic? @al1r4d
recurring! 👍🏻
What was lacking in the original post was a statement that says something like:
"I know that this looks like I want to blast out spam over a one-month period for only $2 and then disappear. Allow me to clarify that this is a legitimate business sending email only to subscribers who have asked to receive it."
Our responses above are helpful to the OP. If they are searching for a spam provider, then those responses may eventually dilute the quality of the email services that we all rely on. I might have offered the same advice anyway because I like to help, but I hope that the OP has a legitimate use in mind. LowEndTalk sometimes helps those who do bad things on the internet too. You will not always know which are which.
I hope so...
tutanota is also ran by radical lefties.
i was not aware of this until now. thank you!
Must we always devolve into social and political commentary on LowEndTalk, no matter the topic of the thread? Some days it feels like workplace harassment ...
in order to be able to give the thread starter a recommendation, it is important to know whether it is important to him that the email service may / must be operated by left-wing radicals or not. factual inquiry.
You win, but is it plausible deniability?
iCloud mail, if you are using Apple devices
What are you talking about?? Is your opinion fact now?
Opinions are NOT facts.
Not trying to derail the thread, but I'm genuinely interested if you think there is an open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted email platform in a half-decent jurisdiction that is NOT run by radical lefties?
And even if Tutanota was actually run by real radical lefties (which is a separate discussion), it's still open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted and is a commercial for-profit enterprise, so it's clearly not in their own interest to compromise their own architecture, unless forced to do that by court order in Germany.
And BTW, all email providers are subject to the laws of their jurisdictions. While Germany is part of the 14 Eyes and has their own surveillance issues as I'm sure we both know, at least they have GDPR, and GDPR + German jurisdiction is better than US privacy law, sadly. And every encrypted provider has at least one story so far of court-ordered meddling, except maybe Skiff, to my knowledge, but they are still fairly new, not totally open source yet, and... drumroll... US jurisdiction, so it's just a matter of time for them.
And BTW, genuinely (and respectfully) curious what your definition of radical lefty is? We can take that to another thread if that is preferred by mods. I'm not trying to get into a political discussion, but it's fascinating to me to hear different definitions, because my version of a "radical lefty" might be very different than your definition. And BTW there are numerous areas of overlapping interests, and a radical lefty who cares passionately about privacy has a shared interest with a right-winger who cares passionately about privacy. And if they are both working on the same open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted systems, they'll never know what the other is saying. In fact, I'd love my open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted platforms to be worked on by both left- and right- because with that much paranoia going around, they'll both make sure the encryption is rock solid.
Additionally, while I totally understand that many people don't want to use any services created by radical anyone, the problem is that the alternatives are very, very few when it comes to open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted providers. It's quite sad actually.
Anyway, mods, feel free to break this out into another thread, or just let me know, and I'll just shut up in this thread. Again, I don't want to derail the OP.
So in all fairness to the OP -- there is NO service that fully, completely meets ALL your requirements, IF you are taking your desire for open source, privacy and security very seriously:
To be more clear, you'll have to define what "privacy and security" means to you, since there are at least a dozen factors that determine how private and secure you might really want. If you don't really need the best privacy and security, then you'll have more options. But if you want the best level of privacy, for example, you'll need to look for open source zero-knowledge end-to-end encrypted with no IP logging, etc... That alone limits you to a small handful of providers. Then you have to ask about jurisdiction. And so forth. It's a very short list.
And then add the other things you want, like cost plus IMAP/POP support, etc... well, good luck.
Anyway, you'll have to decide which items in your list are the most important to you, and then you'll be able to find a compromise. There is an email provider out there for you, just prioritize what you really need.
Cheers and good luck! Hope you find what you're looking for!

Its not possible to achieve that with e-mail.
Its fundamentally not possible, and advertising that is purely dishonest.
The only place where you can implement any kind of "end to end) encryption is local communication between users, and that's about it(or use 3rd party software, but still shit ton of metadata will remain).
