Running your own email server is not for the faint of heart, but if you can’t be convinced otherwise you can do it with today’s open source project of the day. https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized Mailcow dockerized has everything you need to run your own email server (which is a a lot of stuff). It has spam filtering, built in TLS, webmail, IMAP and POP integration, multi account support and excellent docs. If you are using a third party email service like proton, your emails can be decrypted by the provider which is a security hole.

Thanks will test it

Good luck, you are gonna need it 🫡

Running an email server is quite a headache.

I honestly still use Gmail for 95% of my email communication because nobody has offered a better product.

The main pain point is dealing with your ISP. You need to get a reverse DNS entry, static IP and make sure they don’t block any ports. You might have to upgrade to business internet to do it.
