Hello friends, I am considering using some of my domains for email in addition to my self hosted stuff and i cannot stress enough how much i do not want to host and run my own email service. My objective is to find a service that i can hook up with Gmail, so i think it’d have to do mail forwarding and submission/SMTP for sending mails. Mostly just myself, but maybe a few others too. I don’t want to spend twenty bucks per domain though. Does anyone have suggestions?

I’ve used SimpleLogin for awhile and it’s worked very well for me, everything shows up and everyone receives their mail as expected, very happy with it. AnonAddy is another alternative, although I personally haven’t tested that one. They’re both pretty cheap and recommended by PrivacyGuides. SimpleLogin was purchased about a year back by Proton. Who run Proton VPN, ProtonMail and a few other products iirc. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/#email-aliasing-services
Sweet, i will look into that
Many paid email services such as Mailbox.org or Protonmail allow you to use custom domains. You don’t need gmail.
But like Gmail tho
I see.
Gmail also offers the option to use a custom domain. It’s aimed at businesses but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to use it as a private person.
Purelymail.com sound great for your use case, it’s also very cheap.
Check into Google workspaces, it’s a paid service now but I got a family email set up 20 years ago and it’s awesome. You get all the access to Google stuff, administration, there’s plugins and stuff it’s just a Google account with a cooler email and an admin panel really.
Read about Google workspaces
I use mailbox.org - they recently changed the pricing and now you’ll have to pay a minimum of €3/month to have your custom domain.
IIUC apple has an email offer at $1/month that allows a (or many? idk) custom domain and wildcard mailbox.
Honestly, I am considering doing the opposite and starting to self host my email… I loathe comparing the differences between various plans/tiers of the various providers and with commercial email one is bound to do that once in a while (plus €3/month is kinda steep… I mean… not that it’s a very high price per se, but I pay some €6/year for a certified email mailbox and it’s kinda strange to pay much more for a “normal” one)
