This reminds me of the "Email Hates the Living" talk by pobox employee 
rjbs: <http://yapcasia.org/2011/talk/59>. It's still one of my favorite 
talks to watch after 10 years.

I haven't used them, but one of my correspondents uses 
Migadu <https://www.migadu.com/>, and I think they are happy.

A plug for my own project: I'm one of the co-owners of HCoop 
<https://hcoop.net>. One of the services we provide is email. We provide a 
self-hosting-like experience for a number of services, without having to 
go it alone (unfortunately, the self-hosting-like experience includes 
limited leverage against monopolies like Spectrum who refuse to accept 
mail from  us). I think efforts like HCoop are a really great way to 
approach the problem of allowing people computing autonomy without forcing 
them to become sysadmins. We're not there yet, but we're working on it!

Best,
Jack
