- lolinder 2y agoI'm not 100% sure that that gets you wildcard email addresses that all point to the same inbox, but if they support that, sure!
- criddell 2y agoNot sure about Apple, but Google calls has that and calls it catch-all-routing.
- move-on-by 2y agoI don’t know about Google, but I know iCloud supports domain wildcarding
- lidder86 2y agoProxy address ie user@gmail.com you would use ia+user@gmail.com and have rules to match that
- radicality 2y agoGoogle has it, though I think you need the paid Workspace version? I’m paying around $15/month now ever since google killed the free tier for custom domains.

- swatcoder 2y agoThat's not easier, that's the same but with a worse scale fit. If you need free, you need free. But if you can pay, you want to pay a vendor whose scale is such that you mean something to them while still being mature enough to rely on. This applies to pretty much everything, not just email. With Google and Apple, you service needs are overhead and with Google in particular, your value is entirely in them being able to monitor as much as they legally can about your activity. With Fastmail, Protonmail, etc, you are a customer already and they're invested in making you a bigger happy cuatomer in the future. They have staff that will service your support tickets, you represent profit on their books, and the services they offer you are generally designed for your scale more precisely.
- hackernewds 2y agoThey mean getting a Gmail account
- layer8 2y agoIt’s risky to let your online identity be controlled by a single large provider. Distribute out the services you use as much as possible. Use a different email provider from your domain registrar, and different from the providers of any other online account you have.
