Mail Optimization

I am trying to save time and money on my personal mail by taking advantage of the scale of services being offered rather than hosting my own services.

I already have free Email Forwarding from namecheap that I am not using. I can forward up to 100 free Email Forwarding address (which may be per site). This solves the problem of my incoming smtp server.

I have two other pieces of the puzzle to put together. What outgoing SMTP server to use and what IMAP server to use OX (which I think means https://www.open-xchange.com/) via Namecheap.

I can actually buy from Namecheap. I only used 4GB in 5 years on my current email account on gmail and that is after importing my yahoo account which I used for five years before. I can probably get away with the 9.88/yr Private Mail which gives me 3GB of mail storage because of my current usage pattern and because I can export my mail to mbox format to archive since I switched from Thunderbird to Evolution.

That said, Open-Xchange via Namecheap may not be my cheapest possible option even though it is looking the best place to spend my money from a political standpoint because they use a FOSS stack and release their own FOSS software.
