Email Hosting w/SMTP, what do you use? (partizle.com)

I've recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I'm going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I'm plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn't seem worth it to me. I've not looked into what all else comes with Proton's Business features, but i'm not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How's the cost/features?

Proton has stopped the "visionary" that allows SMTP, now it's only available in business accounts. :( I tried setting up the bridge CLI, but so far haven't been able to get it to send anything after logging in and syncing the account, Maybe I'll try again once I've got some things off my plate.

That's really weird "Proton Mail Bridge is currently available for paid subscribers. Upgrade your account" and on the pricing page it has "Email client support (via IMAP/SMTP)" starting on the Mail Plus plan.

Although I've got the same problem with Bridge on MacOS it just stopped doing anything for no particular reason, it'll be worth contacting support to find out why (they're still working on mine)

I just got their email, I get it now. SMTP is different to Bridge, but in my case I use Bridge to send SMTP from my apps (and also collect via IMAP) on the servers. It took a bit of creativity to get it to work like that
