Ask HN: Alternate to Google Apps Mail service for personal email

Posted by geekam on Saturday February 15, 2014 @12:10PM
from the ask-hn dept.

It is 2014 and I am still using the free version of Google's apps for my email (my domain). Although, I have started to move away from Google (been using DDG for a year instead of Google search), but the email service is still with Google apps.

What is the consensus of everyone here about a personal email service? What is everyone using for their own domain?

Some features that I desire are -

* Reliable

* Economical (or great bang for the buck)

* IMAP support

* Fast Web access

* Secure (not asking for NSA-proof :-))

Please feel free to add or suggest anything.

cozycloud, you can just install it on a raspberry pi if i'm not mistaking.

Edit: I was mistaking, it has a lot but no email :(

From what I have read by searching on HN, I believe Fastmail is really popular.
