OT: mail provider recommendation

I used to be a self-hoster for my E-mail, but I've recently switched to
Fastmail, and I've been fairly happy with it. It's not free, but it's not very
expensive either. It offers both POP and IMAP as well as webmail and some
useful privacy features (and my wife likes the fact they're Aussie, even if
they're in Melbourne ;). I don't get a commission; I'm just a satisfied
customer. My usual mail client is Thunderbird on Linux and macOS, but I see
people using all kinds of clients with it.
