I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc… But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting… maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why…

What would you suggest?

    Prooooobably but I was also working with other users who are tech illiterate and setting up even an app password for a mail client is almost a bridge too far, so another plugin/program is asking them a lot unfortunately.

    If I need encryption I can encrypt locally and utilize traditional encryption methods.

      Wait, is everyone using the same account or something? Why don’t they just use whatever email account they already use?

      Proton just sends and accepts regular, unencrypted email, which is totally fine for something like a casual game. Whether you use Proton or something else is irrelevant, all that matters is that your end works.

        I’m not the only user of my domain, I have other users.

        I don’t want to use Google.

        My use case unfortunately meant proton and Tutanoa did not work.
