What's your mail set up?
As a follow-up to a recent post about mail privacy, I thought it would be interesting to see what mail setup you have.
Your recommendations may also help people newer to this trend to make a switch.
Interesting information:
- Mail provider
- Multiple emails? Aliases?
- Password manager?
- All eggs in one basket or decentralized?
- Self host?
If anyone has a good recommendation outside of the typical ones, we'll work on adding it to the upcoming wiki.
I use Fastmail, previously used Proton, Mailbox and Disroot.
I have an email for IRL and one for online as well as some "masked emails" (Fastmail's equivalent of aliasing) for services I don't trust. I'm still transitioning away from Addy for email aliasing.
I currently use Bitwarden although I have been looking into 1Password and KeePass.
Decentralized, Fastmail, Mullvad, Bitwarden and Ente Auth.
Self hosting email is hell from what I've heard and I currently don't have the resources to do that anyways.
What do you mean by this? Mail host separate from domain registrar?
I see. I didn't realize all those other services came under the same umbrella as mail hosting.
Sendmail + mimedefang/spam assassin + dovecot/sieve
For calendar/contacts - Radicale
Self hosted. It's not that hard, one of those fire and forget services that require 10 minutes a month to support. Some time ago I've also tried mailu and mailcow instead of doing it by hand, they are cool if a bit opaque.
