free-email-forwarding VS maildev

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:

As I said before Maildev is a neat and easy to use SMTP server that is great for development since you can have your application act as though its really sending emails and have that intercepted directly and reviewed in a neat GUI application. It's a nice way to solve the problem of testing emails but you are certainly welcome to do something else, possible dangerous, like actually send emails from your development box :). Again, I want you to start thinking about chaining applications together as a cluster of single purpose containers, all talking to each other via simple conventions and environment variables (for example you might have noticed that the DB_HOST was the same as the name of the database container; Docker does a great job of offering simple conventions like that which really save a lot of setup headache.

This looks quite nice and lean, we started using https://github.com/maildev/maildev especially for the arm64 support.

Reading about maildev, it seems to be a STMP server for testing. I assume then, the problem is in the mail() function.

There are other options besides running a fully blown internal mail server. You could try https://github.com/maildev/maildev or https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog (no longer being developed but still working great) if it is enough for your use case.

I was able to implement a simple verification link that a new user can click to confirm their account. However, my implementation is only up to localhost environment using maildev.

In my case, I used docker-compose to do this, but please read accordingly. Of course, you can also use Docker commands to run it, and even if you don't have Docker environment, you can install and use it with npm command. For more information, please look at official document here .
