You have to go through me. Are you feeling lucky? 🤣
After some test, I suggest you only zoho mail. Work really fine.
and also fits some special needs, mentioned in the first post.
Thanks angstrom, Hope the community members will helps and sharing the valuable knowledge to me.
Selfhost with Dovecot and use any of these addons;

Will work in a similar way to commercial solutions, you only have to worry about memory dump while connected, so its fair to say most vps should work assuming they don't dump memory at all times.
Will work without any funny webinterfaces, everything is done server-side(while its not the most secure way, its certainly the most sane for encrypting "plaintext" emails). SMTP/IMAP will work.
Does anyone happen to know about Tuta's flexibility about when payments happen? Do payments for Tuta mail hosting have to happen on a strict schedule or can a customer decide when to add funds in advance?
Wow, what a thread. Personally i think all those secure and private email providers are really funny. I think one might even go as far to call their marketing tactics scammy. Email is per definition of the (40-some year old...) protocol neither secure nor private. Is it possible to make it a slight more secure and private? Maybe. Can you change the basic characteristics? No. Bottom line: If you want secure and private use something else not email...
I have several yearly plan with them, the payment has strict schedule and you can't add funds in advance.
you can also just buy yearly plan (personal subscription) from digitalgoods https://digitalgoods.proxysto.re/en
I have switched from Tuta to Skiff. It's more feature rich, community oriented and growing at rapid pace.
How do those four providers compare to each other?
Especially between MXRoute and Zoho.
I would compare MXRoute with Purelymail, not with Zoho.
Why?
I will let febryanvaldo answer that, but I'm guessing it's because MXroute and Purelymail have a somewhat minimalist, low-cost approach to mail hosting. jar said he does not supply groupware.
Is the primary difference in pricing, or are there technical/feature differences?
What's interesting is that most of the email providers count storage per user, rather than per account. And the per address email limits are generally counted in terms of GB. 1GB per mailbox, 5GB per mailbox, 10GB per mailbox, etc.
OTOH, MXRoute counts it per account. And their packages are generally in the ranges of 5GB per account, 10GB per account, 25GB per account, etc.
Pricing wise, if someone needs larger sized mailboxes, for each mailbox, they'll generally be better off using a service that allocates large size per mailbox limitations rather than a limitation on the entire account.
Free Gmail gives 15GB per mailbox. And even with that limitation many users pay for additional storage above 15GB for each mailbox.
Yeah the pricing is somewhat different but still it's LowEnd enough, both has <15 USD per year plan (MXRoute promo), with unlimited email accs and domains.
MXRoute use Direct Admin to manage the stuffs, while Purelymail use their own panel (built-in), both works just fine, but i still prefer MXRoute over Purelymail.
