I struggled with email for quite a while. You need a droplet with lots of memory to run all the services you need to do email well. Then I found Gandi.net. I get all my domains with them as free email is included at no charge. So not worth the effort to do it yourself.

Note: I am not connected in any way… just a satisfied customer for over 5 years

Hello, you could set with Mail-in-Box virtual hosts for sending and receiving emails.

Gandi.net , webfaction.com and many others offer similar services plus e-mail boxes for your hosted domain… So, what DigitalOcean is wayting to offer it? I am adapted here, but one day I will leave to simplify my life with e-mail boxes!
