For mail, I would really consider Fastmail (over Migadu).

Fastmail has contributed a huge amount to the open source community, also include Calendar support (Migadu does not) and has a fantastic web interface (where Migadu is extremely lacking).

Even though I have no expectation that my emails are 100% private, I'm still incredibly hesitent to trust any company operating out of Australia with their horrible stance towards encryption and backdoors (which is not Fastmails fault of course, it's a pretty horrible situation for them).

I'm fairly sure that Migadu also supports caldav, although I don't think there's any UI for it on the web. I think there's pretty much an expectation that most people using Migadu are bringing their own clients rather than using the web one anyways.

Posteo is also good. Endorsed by the FSF even. Not sure about the web interface hehe, it's just RoundCube.

Posteo's web UI is very barebones, a little clunky but ok. I rarely use it though, because why would I when I can just use IMAP and choose my client?

If I really wanted a different web UI I could still just run my own and sync using IMAP.

Their service is excellent and cheap. I highly recommend them.

+1

I've been using Posteo for years, and I have also been very happy with their service.

Yeah that's what I use for email and I've had no issues with it.

Fastmail is in australia though? Didn't they just get completely backdoored?

Email is insecure by default. The best you can do is go with a provider that doesn’t sell your behavior to advertisers like Google does.

But if even 50% of the population uses gmail then they have your information anyways?
