It’s me again with another question for recommendation 🙈 This time I am searching for a new Email-Provider:

Currently I am using mailbox.org (privacy-friendly provider based in Germany). Since my subscription is comming to an end there, I tought about switching to proton mail-plus. What I like about them is, that they have an easy way of creating alias-emails and also support the option to use your own domain.

But maybe you gals and guys have another great provider which offers good features for a good price.

Also: I dont need Cloud-Storage or anything like that, so just mail is fine.

Thx in regards :)

      Proton purchased SimpleLogin in 2022 and the creator/dev has been working there ever since. Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.

        I knew this, I’m trying not to keep my eggs in one basket.

        Also, you can easily create random email aliases in Vaultwarden/Bitwarden via the SimpleLogin API.

        This still requires a SimpleLogin/Proton account, so there’s no added benefit. Plus, this is true for Addy as well.

      Fair warning though, using a service like addy.io with randomly generated emails can go bad if they ever shutdown, you’ll be left with tons of accounts on email addresses that no longer exist.

        It’s better than using the same email for everything, which still runs the same risk. I try to minimize the services I use that require an email for this very reason. I will note, self hosting + addy.io provides much more control with the same benefits and drawbacks.

          Oh for sure, the better alternative is your own domain with either catch-all or self hosting something like addy.io, then you don’t have any risk of losing those email addresses (assuming you don’t let your domain expire).
