Mail Optimization
I am trying to save time and money on my personal mail by taking advantage of the scale of services being offered rather than hosting my own services.
I already have free Email Forwarding from namecheap that I am not using. I can forward up to 100 free Email Forwarding address (which may be per site). This solves the problem of my incoming smtp server.
I have two other pieces of the puzzle to put together. What outgoing SMTP server to use and what IMAP server to use OX (which I think means https://www.open-xchange.com/) via Namecheap.
I can actually buy from Namecheap. I only used 4GB in 5 years on my current email account on gmail and that is after importing my yahoo account which I used for five years before. I can probably get away with the 9.88/yr Private Mail which gives me 3GB of mail storage because of my current usage pattern and because I can export my mail to mbox format to archive since I switched from Thunderbird to Evolution.
That said, Open-Xchange via Namecheap may not be my cheapest possible option even though it is looking the best place to spend my money from a political standpoint because they use a FOSS stack and release their own FOSS software.

Try Mxroute ( @jarland ) or @mailcheap if you want mail hosting
Still have several of the $5/year promos left from my recent thread. I put 100 in stock and 50 sold quickly, the rest have just been slowly trickling in.
$5/yr in London available?
Nah, just Dallas
does server location matter when sending email?
Highly Vouch for @Jarland , Aff in my signature if you wanna help me out haha
Everyone thinks a different country is the best for privacy, and latency when checking email can be lower based on server location.
@Oflameo Our entire stack is FOSS. Drop me a PM if interested:
