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.

All eggs in one basket or decentralized?

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

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.

  • Posteo
  • I use a mix of aliases and plus addressing
  • Bitwarden
  • Decentralized: Bitwarden, Posteo, Aegis
  • Nope. I did self host Bitwarden once but then switched back to paying premium for Bitwarden instead.
