In another discussion somewhere on the internet, someone mentioned using a service but I could not find any details and the person didn't reply.

The service is to send & receive email. But the storage capacity was less and the service only has a imap & smtp address and no webmail. Basically the service focuses on ensuring the emails are sent & received. The person has a webserver hosted at home that copies the emails from that server and incase of sending email, sends via that server. Then all the content of the home server is backed up at some off-site backup service.

Any idea which is the services being used and how would such a system be rated? It sounds like you are doing something similiar.

Unfortunately, you would have to trust the relay not to snoop. You might as well self host a mail server, since you can guarantee end to end encryption.
