I switched to fastmail after 15 or 16 years of hosting my own mail
server.
I've been really happy with them. Migrating all my old mail was a snap
and happened much more quickly than I expected. They also have
MailMate-specific setup instructions, so they are MailMate-friendly at
least to that extent:

I don't remember whether I had to use their instructions or not, the
whole thing was pretty simple and straightforward.
I'm using their "standard" 30 GB plan. Paying up front for a couple of
years brought the price down to a little less than $4/month.
Honestly, I should have done something like this years ago. Hosting my
own mail server cost a lot more and although it was sort of fun and
educational in its time, that hadn't actually been the case for a long
time.
So FWIW, happy fastmail customer here. I expect to stick with them for a
long time.

*Thanks* for the continued stream of great info.
My plan to move to a much cheaper dedicated server crashed when I
discovered that a much cheaper dedicated server couldn’t deliver
what I needed.
Part of Plan B includes finding a good, secure email provider that (a)
will accept my domain name, (b) plays well with Mail Mate, (c) will
allow me to import my current array of emails, & (d) allows sufficient
storage (e.g., StartMail looks great but has an inflexible limit of
only 10G storage for all plans).
The following prospects made the initial cuts of my research. I’d
appreciate your comments about any of the following or any other
provider you recommend or warn against.
MailFence
Proton
Fastmail
Thexyz
Scala Hosting
mailbox.org
Thanks as always for your help.
