Purelymail https://purelymail.com/ and Migadu https://www.migadu.com/pricing/ and Zoho have better pricing and features for full inboxes and sending. If you just want forwarding, there are free options like Cloudflare or ImprovMX.

ImprovMX recently sold to an American owner, though... So that's really not great.

Is this necessary? Gmail and Namecheap do this for free. I recently set up a domain and was able to set up Gmail and Mail.app to both send and receive as that email. I also use Fastmail and set that up with a domain no problem. Maybe I’m missing what this is for.

You used gmail with your own domain for free?

The other services GP mentioned are already American too, though?

No, he made namecheap forward incoming emails to domain to his email.

FWIW, I use forwardemail.net. Been using them a few years and haven't had any issues. They've got a free plan but you have to put your email in the public DNS record, or $3/mo to keep your email private.

Not affiliated, just a happy customer. The biggest issue now is that my email addresses always confuse humans. They're always like "Your email address is MyCompany@YourDomain.com?" And I'm like yes... I don't work for your company, that's... I don't really want to explain this.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Zoho certainly isn't American but you choose your datacentre region on signup, including US locations.

Think it's a nice option to be able to get EU data protections without actually being a resident.

That said I don't get the objection? There's a high likelihood that the person sending you email is using a US service anyway, Apple, Gmail and Outlook have 90% marketshare between them.
