Thanks to those who responded, offering me access to their servers. (I
am sorry, it seems that I can’t reply to these answers individually
when they are not in my inbox; something I had not realized initially,
having not used mailing lists since long.)

These private offers are very kind, but my question was more about
finding a provider who offers this access as a normal service, not as
some special favor to me. That’s because I want to recommend this
provider to the users of a software I am developing. And I do not
expect my users will agree to pay some fee (even a low fee) to register
for an e-mail address just to use my software, so I’d recommend only a
provider who gives starter plans for free. (Of course these users in
turn would perhaps then upgrade their plan if they want to.)

So far I didn’t find a service provider providing free e-mail accounts
(similar to GMail, Yahoo, …) and using Dovecot, which I find very
surprising, as I thought some of these big names, or at least some
smaller ones that I do not know, would use Dovecot.

Thanks again for the replies, anyway.
