We use cPanel emails at work… don’t ask, please 😭😂. Since we’ve got off a couple of large website hosting platforms it appears to be smooth sailing.
We’re currently hosting our emails with a small web hosting provider, ‘only 250k’ websites are hosted with them. They apparently use SSDs for customer data and boy oh boy is that apparent. Emails are sync’d, sent, and received faster than any other cPanel emails we’ve been on. We’ve only been with them for about 1-1.5 years, so something might come up one day.
I know it’s not quite self hosting, but it’s quite close to it.
Oh god, I bet that UI looks at least ten years old D:
The speed sounds good though!
Though with 250k sites their IPs would at least have a sizable reputation, I was referring more to private email servers that aren’t big enough to generate much of a reputation being auto-blocked by the Gmails and Outlooks of the world. Again I don’t have experience with this, I’d just read somewhere that it’s a growing problem with the big providers only granting any trust to email services above a certain size and therefore reputation.
I still use email clients. Not sure if that’s now considered the old school way of doing things? So the UI doesn’t come into it at all.
I’m not sure how much impact the IP address/server of the mail server has on reputation. I know the domain name and its DNS records have somewhat of an impact.
RE email clients, I think in the personal space it’s much more common to use the web app these days. I find the inverse is true for the business space. What desktop client do you use, out of interest? I’ve been a long time commercial Google user but want to move away and will likely switch to a desktop client along with that change
IP address and domain name can both be used for email reputation purposes. If you self host on a cloud provider that isn’t strict enough on outbound spam, for example, then you might find your sending IP gets blacklisted by virtue of being in an IP range with spammers.

I use Outlook at work, Mailbird at home, and Nine on my mobile devices.
