Rolling your own can fulfill all your requirements. Just download some server software and put it somewhere you trust

Your requirements are impossible. May as well throw in unlimited handjobs and world peace while you’re at it.

You're getting a lot of downvotes, but in a better world this stuff would all be standard... Unfortunately I have no suggestions though

[-] halm@leminal.space 7 points 11 hours ago

Maybe they're being downvoted because they're formulating their question and list of demands as if it were a ransom note, or a chatbot prompt.

[-] MxRemy@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago

That's not entirely untrue, fair 😅

I do wish conditions like these were more obtainable though... It all seems like stuff that people on the earlier internet would assume was the norm by now.

DO NOT SUGGEST TUTA OT PROTON

[-] Steve@communick.news 15 points 12 hours ago

Have you looked into Tuta?
There's also Proton.

[-] MisterFred@reddthat.com -3 points 11 hours ago

Proton not open-source, Tuta is starting to get vibecoded without human checks

I hear Astermail is nice. Free? I'm not sure about this either.
