Multiple accounts

Looking for a way to create aliases to manage several accounts then checkout https://www.gandi.net/en/domain/email. About $18/year for your own .ca domain name, 2 email addresses and unlimited aliases.

theluddite.ca is available!

Thanks @Luddite for sharing this.

What do you think about linking the email accounts using gmail. it's free

Yes, but then I hate having Google examine all my emails! I use 2 paid services to stay away from Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Never, ever, use my internet provider's freebies.

@Luddite, what paid services do you use? Care to give a mini-review?

@Luddite, privacy by policy is not worth much. Policies change like the seasons. Sadly that is what all the aforementioned companies offer. We really need privacy by design.

I use fastmail.com and a personal domain from gandi.net for my partner & me. Both services have been good so far (1-3 years) almost completely eliminating ads/junk. Fastmail is more sophisticated as they only do only email and have an excellent app.

I have just abandoned my yahoo address completely. I have a very old (10 years) gmail account retained for the very infrequent times I need a Google account; usually to help someone.

Because I'm an iPhone user I also have some iCloud aliases that I use for anything that's "just for fun" or where I must give an email address to access something of interest. And now and then https://harakirimail.com to disappear after 24 hours. ⚔️

Interesting, @Luddite. I didn't realize you were such a privacy zealout--I'd have pegged that on @will13am before you! 😉 Aren't you more concerned about Bob and Sue reading through your colander than Google?

Honestly though, I don't really see the need to go to these lengths. I think if Google wants to read my Gmail they're not going to find much of any particular interest. In fact, Google, if you're reading this: go ahead!; I dare you to stay awake for more than 10 mins of it! 🙂

But Luddite, whatever makes you happy my friend! Well, you and Ralph, of course.

@srlawren, I am not a privacy zealot by any stretch of the imagination. I am just trying to limit impact, if there is such a thing. Since I am married to the google ecosystem, others need no apply.

@Luddite, nice find.

I personally use Google Suite for my email, and setup stonechucker.net a few years back. A fair bit more expensive than what you've put here, but I'm happy with it, and I love the interface of Gmail over everything else out there.

I will keep this in mind.

Gandi's interface is quite limited as their primary business is domain registration/hosting. Fastmail's is much better, but have no idea how it compares to Google's.
