Are there still any free mail providers that provide direct SMTP/IMAP?

Hello fellow LESbians,
I had been using inleed.xyz for my emails for a long time, until today they randomly decided to IP ban (?) me when I tried to send a message through SMTP via Authentik, and now I'm back to looking for a mail provider that has free IMAP/SMTP access.

Don't need much, will use my own domain, and mostly incoming mails than outgoing, probably won't reach higher than 10 emails a day anyways, need alias support even if they share the same storage.

free and long-term reliable? I am not sure, to be honest, they all started clamping down on this and using custom auth. Technically, you can still use Gmail via an auth token instead of a password if you don't mind Google and jumping through a few hoops.

Otherwise, maybe @MichaelCee can offer you something, it's not free but it's literally as cheap as it can possibly get.

I think Disroot should allow this! Plus you can get a custom domain for a one time donation

AFAIK, Yandex is going to cut off IMAP and SMTP for free accounts tomorrow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
