Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.
I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?
mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.
migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.
I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.
Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:
Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:
icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)
mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB
purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)
infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited
sorted out
migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)
Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)
posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)
other recommendations: too expensive
I've been using purelymail. 10 dollars a year and you can add as many domains and make as many accounts as you want.
Not sure why I see this one recommended so much. Seems like it's run by just one dude who won't always be able to respond to support requests, security issues and other emergencies in the time frames you'd want with such a service. I also really wouldn't want to bet my ability to securely access/send/receive important emails on that one person in Delaware not randomly getting hit by a car or something.
Yeah, I didn't know it was just one person. That doesn't really feel umm... safe for something like email.
It is true afaik but support has been excellent from him. Used it for a few years but switched to zoho for better support of protocols.
Serious question - as a normie I'm usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
Google = @gmail.
ProtonMail = @protonmail
How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?
Magnets, how do they work?
Yeah they give you the DNS records to add to your domain
This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don't use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its' pretty pricey compare to purelymail.
I've been using it for around a year
