AnonAddy VS SimpleLogin

My tips from moving away from Gmail:

- Mailbox.org is what I use and it's pretty good. I often see Fastmail recommended too.

- Use a standalone email client that allows you to connect to multiple email servers. This makes it easy to continue to monitor your old email account while you use the new one. I use Thunderbird on desktop and FairEmail on Android (though Thunderbird also has an app for Android).

- Transfer all of your most important accounts over initially. As long as you continue to have access to your old account, you don't need to transfer absolutely everything all at once, you can do it over time.

- Use a custom domain name so if you decide to change providers again in future you just need to update your DNS records rather than changing your email address in all your accounts.

- You may also want to set up a catch-all email address or use a service like https://addy.io/ to generate email aliases on the fly, and create a new alias for each service you use (for example, your email for GitHub could be github.com@mydomain.com). This helps protect your actual personal email address from spam.

I generate a unique email alias for all web services that I sign up to, so I made a CLI tool to make it easy to instantly create or get an alias for a website.

While I'm planning to eventually self-host anonaddy[1] or SimpleLogin[2], I'm currently happy with Fastmail.com's masked email feature[3].

90% of my own usage consists of entering `masked_fastmail website.com`, which will get the alias for website.com or create one if it doesn't exist. The alias is automatically copied to clipboard. There's a GIF of how this works in the project README together with some more examples.

The CLI tool is written in Go and is very simple. I've used it myself for almost 1 year now. I made some upgrades yesterday and wanted to share it here in case it's useful for someone else :)

No limit to the number of aliases from which you can send/reply.

But you probably need to be a paid subscriber, at least €1/month.

That looks good, thank you. And being owned by Proton give me more trust, the other suggested here https://addy.io/ not that much.

With providers like Addy and SimpleLogin it is possible to use your own domain.

This is one of a few reasons I have started to use email forwarders such as AnonAddy.

Not all of my emails have been moved over yet, but over time I plan on depreciating almost if not all of my main emails from logins.

SimpleLogin Resmi Sitesine gidin.

SimpleLogin - Create email aliases for better privacy.

Simple Login (SL), Addy (AD), and DuckDuckGo Email Protection (DDG) are the 3 alias email services I use. Both SL and AD can send and receive. DDG only receives. You can disable the sending direction and simply allow the forward service to run. I believe you will be able to handle this technological challenge. SL and AD are free for 10 aliases, but AD also includes PGP in the free tier. DDG allows for unlimited aliases but does not support PGP; nonetheless, it is free.

How great would it be if you could combine the benefits of such services?

I appreciate your time.

SL: https://simplelogin.io/

There’s https://simplelogin.io/, which is owned by Proton now, so similar in terms of privacy. You can get it separately, or as part of Proton Pass or Mail

I belive the best chioce for todays is https://simplelogin.io/, that is why:

>Email aliases, mailing lists, subaddressing and catch-all addresses support.

Another feature that would be nice to have built-in is masked hide-my-email aliases for privacy like the cloaked email services from iCloud, FastMail, SimpleLogin, Cloudflare email routing, etc.[1]

For now, I use the typical aliases addresses in Dovecot but it doesn't hide the real email when replying. Also, creating new aliases in Dovecot-based email systems is very tedious and cumbersome because you have to go through the cPanel interface to create new aliases. (Some suggest using "catchall" to simplify manual creation of new aliases but that's not workable when spam robots constantly send to new random addresses in your domain.) The cPanel/Dovecot aliases also don't have metadata so you can add details on what the alias is for and when it was created.

Note that other than Mozilla’s Firefox Relay and Apple’s Hide My Email there's also SimpleLogin: https://simplelogin.io/

Also the Bitwarden password manager has an integration for SimpleLogin.
