When using subaddressing (e.g. example+tag@purelymail.com), can I also send from that address? The holy grail for me would be an email service that lets me set up catch-all, with the ability to send/reply with any address I want.
I have this with fastmail. *@my.tld all gets shoved in my inbox and I can send from whatever@my.tld.
Oh cool, my project is on HackerNews! I was wondering about the sudden uptick in user signups, and then I checked HN... I'm Scott, feel free to ask me anything about the service.
I'm sorry if I missed it, but do you do catchall email service for custom domains? My current email provider ( https://mailbox.org ) limits email aliases per price plan, the most basic that I currently use allows for 3 + a free root@ and webmaster@. I'd probably be convinced to go through the hassle and switch providers if your service provides an improvement over this limit.
12€/yr for 1GB + custom domain + 5 aliases (plus catchall).
Isn't Google free? Perhaps with certain limitations... I know I never paid for email.

3 Gb is plenty for a few months of "live" email but after that what should we do to keep those emails -- and still have them searchable if need be?

> It's a one-man enterprise, which may frighten some people Email is super critical for most people these days (eg. 2FA). That sounds like a really scary bus-factor [1] risk, especially considering data is encrypted at rest. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor
I actually get asked about this semi-frequently. Probably nobody could replace me as a _developer_ on Purelymail, but I've been training my brother to handle extended maintenance and to have handover credentials if anything happens to me personally. (This might be in the FAQ?)
I have a question: if this is hosted on AWS, what (and I'm sure there's something, I just don't know what ) is stopping Amazon from accessing my mail and using it for whatever?
I've been using Purelymail as my sole mail provider for over a year now (previously with Fastmail) and it has been my best email experience. It's a one-man enterprise, which may frighten some people, but I prefer boutique internet companies to the faceless monoliths. (I'd like more of the internet to be made of these small corner bodegas.)
Fastmail isn't entirely faceless either :p But we're definitely not still the 3-man show that we were before the Opera years (up until 2010). Obviously, I think Fastmail is worth the extra for the multi-copy redundancy & backups, new features, contributions we're making to the standards world, and not being dependent on a single person - the past few years in particular we've been focusing on not only being able to s…
DMARC reporting could be a huge value add if you could build something in. That whole industry is a massive ripoff and too expensive for small businesses.

And of course it would be even more crazy for them to refuse a request e.g. by the FBI or NSA. I'm sure they respect SLAs as much as OnePlus, Huawei & co don't share data with Chinese government.
Yea, they say as much in the data privacy FAQ. I think my recommendation is that if you're worried about being explicitly targeted by state actors, don't use email. (Not even Protonmail.) If you're worried about general data hoovering, AWS would probably need to implement very sophisticated introspection into what your machines are doing to break the SSL on SMTPS, and courts might not be sympathetic to that. I expect…
Protonmail (and Tutanota, which I went with) both offer E2E encrypted email via open-source client apps, so they should be fine even against state actors if you use their encryption. In the case of Tutanota, this has even been tested in court.
Of course, if you use them to send or receive plain ol' unencrypted email, this largely goes out of the window regardless of the provider.
> An honest list of drawbacks I appreciate putting up a list like this. That said, I want to comment on one of the listed drawbacks: > Occasionally, obscure email servers will block emails sent through us I have a few years of experience running my own email server and I can tell you this is a major pain in the ass. When you send your email via a small email server (a server that sends a low volume of email), you wil…
I'll make a note to make that language stronger.
Is there a generic solution for moving over IMAP inboxes from one provider to another?
