- Mail storage: >= 2GB is good enough for me; >= 2 custom domains; 2FA support.
- Catch-all; sending email/replying from <any-user@my-custom-domain.tld>
- IMAP; new mail push notification; virus/spam protection; blocking domain/email; whitelisting
- privacy; solid reliability; trust/reputation
- What are not needed: notes, calendar, a suite and shit, contacts, apps, docs, chat, video, team, sharing, cookies, lemonades, drive, anonymity and whatnot. I just need reliable custom domain email hosting.
And yes, also needed:
- At least responsible email and/or chat support (not single person beta projects like PurelyMail)
- And a support team/staff/founder who do not have a habit of being (border-line) rude/hostile and callous in responses and often make you feel guilty and ashamed about ruining their tranquil week by encountering a problem or having a question.
FastMail is too costly (for me) and I wish I could repurpose those remaining 58-50 GBs for storage to justify the higher cost (and use for backup but 50GB of that is actually reserved for mail). Proton is actually too costly. Tuta doesn't even support IMAP (which they say is a feature, not a bug). Also, not mailbox.org.
Is there anything else out there? Just in case.

They also have a "forever free" plan that might do what you need.
I always thought of them as the budget alternative to Google, iCloud, MS Office online, etc.

I've tried to work it with their support - who were responsive - but nothing has improved. I'm in the process of shifting providers, perhaps based on recommendations you get here.
