I had a free google workspace for over a decade with a domain I own before it became a paid service, I’m looking at putting it all in my hands ideally using services that cost less than the $15/Month in paying for a handful of accounts.
I’m looking at running a Nextcloud to replace most of the Google services but I still haven’t found an email server replacement. Any ideas/suggestions/links to guides?
Edit: I’m not necessarily looking to host my own email, as I understand it to be a pain, but looking to migrate my current one to somewhere else.

I switched from google to Proton and it’s been solid.
I used to host my email server with https://mailinabox.email/. It was okay. However, it required some care in delivering and receiving emails after I just configured it: in the sense of removing it from blacklists and talking with some ISPs so they accept emails from my server.
Protonmail is good. I did the same thing you’re doing and proton seems to be a reputable brand at the moment.
I use Migadu
Don’t be your own email admin. Get a $1 CPanel host from anywhere and you’re good to go.
Proton mail
Well the obligatory mention that selfhosting email is more headache than what its worth. You don’t wan’t to be told from expecting recipient that email from you never arrive since their provider blackholed your mail into oblivion.
Try mxroute for email. Currently theres ongoing black friday promo for $15 triennially. https://mxroute.blackfriday/
If you are really looking to be hosted for nothing at all, check out disroot.org. I use them for my primary email account. They also host Nextcloud.
Maybe consider mailbox.org. It is cheap, supports custom domains and is hosted in Germany.
fastmail.com if you want unlimited dynamically created aliases. It’s a very flexible solution in general. I have setup where emails to whatever@mydomain.com automatically create a folder “whatever” and route email in it. Also works with multiple users.
I wouldn’t host my own email server.
If I was to migrate my legacy Workspace, I’d move it to M365…
Yeah, it’s not self hosted, but sometimes, not being at fault for something that’s broken… Would be nice!
I use namecheap stupid cheap web hosting that comes with 10gb pop/imap email $4.33/mo I just let the cache fill up on my client while the mailbox empties and I do backups of the PST. I use the webclient for operation.
Not as featured but beats the bells and whistles for personal use.
There’s always protonmail hosted, secure, cheapish
Just use mailbox.org or posteo. They’re cheap and reliable
You can check Purelymail if it can suit your req for mail.
