Thanks. Like the sentiment. Yes I can do this but my wife cannot. So this option is out. It needs to be a solution that she can maintain alone if something happens to me. This concern gets a lot more real as one gets older.

Run your own goddamn email server. Don't trust these big fat companies.

Email in itself is an outdated protocol. Even if you’re selfhosting it, and have the best opsec practices; if the other person uses gmail then you’re fucked anyway.

Not having mandatory security is a legit issue, but there isn’t a secure drop-in replacement, not in 2024. You’re gonna need widespread support, support for file transfer, federated operation, resistance to abuse, client software on many platforms, etc.

Security is getting better on the transport side.

I would advise against this.
I am all about running things yourself, run most stuff myself, but email is just a nightmare these days with all the anti-spam stuff out there.
Go ask at !selfhosted@lemmy.world. They’ll tell you the same thing.
