PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It's like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that's it.
You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that's always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.
The good thing about using your own domain is that you're not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.
This is a good idea. I got free domain routing to Gmail through the plagued Google apps system years ago. It's changed a bunch of times and is now workspaces and requires a monthly fee. I'm grandfathered in through original apps enrollment.
Okay, but now you're talking about $22/year and who even has that kind of money?
