Ask HN: What are some email providers more people should know about?

5 points by mahathu 5y ago ↗ HN

I'm looking to create a new e-mail address for various reasons. Posteo and Protonmail were my favorites, but none of the variations of firstname.lastname@provider were available for me. What are some other email providers, paid or free, that provide a reliable service and ideally have a short domain?

I run my own using https://mailinabox.email/ - not everyone's cup of tea.

Wouldn't it be best to have your own domain and use ProtonMail to deal with the mail? That way, your address is portable and you have far more flexibility (catch all addresses, custom security, etc.) Domains are cheap.

Forward Email is pretty good. I use it with a custom domain, but they have free domains you can use.
