Project mention: Ask HN: How do you manage the risk of losing access to email address? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-07
Here's how I do it:
* Buy your own domain, (Through a reputable register that has existed for a long time (enom; joker; namecheap; was).
* Host DNS through a 3rd party (Cloudflare in my case)
* Use Fastmail for email hosting on my custom domain
* Run a nightly cronjob using offlineimap (https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap) to sync all hosted email to my local NAS.
This protects me from:
* Fastmail bans me: I'll pay for email hosting elsewhere, update DNS records, and upload all my backed-up email.
* DNS host bans me: I'll move to a different DNS host.
* Registrar bans me: I'm a little fukked; old emails are backed up, but new emails would be tricky. Though, this is much less likely
* House burns down: Buy a new house and NAS and redownload all my email.
* Nuclear war: I'm dead and email doesn't matter anymore.
