I've been wanting to move on from gmail for a while now, thought about self hosting but I'm afraid I won't have the time or ability to keep it running well for a long period of time. Which service would you guys recommend? I'm not an avid email user, I basically just sign up to websites and send support emails once in a while.

Unless you're a seasoned sysadmin, hosting your own mail server is going to be more trouble that it's worth. It's a lot of work, and when that was a common thing (companies having their own mail servers) usually they had dedicated admin teams (when they bothered hiring more than one admin, that is) to run it. It's a lot of work.

I migrated my domain over to Protonmail a couple of years back, and it's the best money I've spent in a long time.
