free-email-forwarding VS homebridge-messenger

Have you seen our service yet? You might not have since we don't focus on ads/marketing too much; we've been dedicated to high-quality product efforts.

Our service is called Forward Email (https://forwardemail.net) and it's so easy to use we use it ourselves (dogfood style).

Although we don't have mail clients yet, we fully support Thunderbird and any other email client (e.g. K-9 Mail, FairEmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, Gmail, etc).

Our FAQ is extensive at https://forwardemail.net/faq and we walk you through set up, which is tailored to you based off your specific registrar/DNS provider. We also have instructions for SPF/DMARC/DKIM and more, so that you land in the inbox.

Lastly, unlike everyone else, we're actually 100% open-source on GitHub at https://github.com/forwardemail

See our service at https://forwardemail.net - we're actually 100% open-source (unlike everyone else that says they're open-source, but actually only has the front-end published). We're a great alternative and you can bring any mail client you want (e.g. Thunderbird).

Thanks for your feedback. We've updated our home page at https://forwardemail.net and added a dedicated link/section in our FAQ for "What is Forward Email" at https://forwardemail.net/faq#what-is-forward-email.

Forward Email team here (https://forwardemail.net), we have a write-up and comparison @ https://forwardemail.net/en/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encr...

We've considered adding a E2EE comparison column as well (with the issues such @ http://jfloren.net/b/2023/7/7/0 highlighted).

Unlike Skiff, Proton, and Tuta... we're _actually_ 100% open-source. Those providers that advertise as open-source really only open-source the front-end, when the back-end is the most sensitive part of an email service.

Has anyone used forwardemail.net to forward fully hosted email? I started using Hey for my gmail accounts and like it and want to fold in my Dreamhost email accounts but unfortunately that option doesn't exist for fully hosted anymore. I think I can use it but this is not my area of expertise.

https://forwardemail.net/ to allow me to forward various emails from all my domains to my paid Outlook account (that has various folders and filters setup).

Can I use forwardemail.net with my Gmail account?

Hello HNers,

I'm looking forward to have more "ownership" of my digital identity, and I want to start by controlling the domain of my e-mail addresses.

Been searching possible solutions and I think an e-mail forwarding service is a pretty good middleground, so I can keep my Gmail / Outlook accounts active while also being able to create "identities" on the fly.

It has come down to three different services:

- https://forwardemail.net/

One way I may be able to achieve that is with HomeBridge messenger sending an email as email are a trigger to personal automations. From there I’m looking to make a dedicated automation email address. I can even use different subjects to trigger different automations. I’ll report back when I have it implemented.

Big fan of https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger (which yes, includes a Pushover option among others)

The only thing I can think of is using homebridge-messenger to send yourself an email which then triggers an automation. But I think that might be too slow for a situation like that.

And after Setup, try also this plugin: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge-dummy#readme it’s enabling so much automations, it’s crazy. Or: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger together with Pushover - pushover is a 5$ one time purchase and after that you can send push notifications as you like.

For example, I use a homebridge plugin like homebridge-messenger (https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger) to create a couple of homekit virtual switches that will trigger an IFTTT applet with webhook. The IFTTT applet will send the push notification. Then it's just a matter of creating a homekit automation that triggers the correct virtual switch when certain condition is met (like in your case the weather drops/rise to certain degree).

I used https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger

It's not free, but the iOS pushover app ($5) works decently with the homebridge messenger plugin (don't edit config.json directly but use the plugin Settings button to configure it).

Ah, there is already a pushover plugin -- it's a part of Homebridge Messenger: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger

Agreed. I use Pushover with Homebridge Messenger and the setup is pretty straightforward: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger.
