Get a domain and set up a provider with custom domains such as Purelymail

purelymail, or if one guy running email by himself makes you feel uncomfortable, migadu

Migadu is like two guys running email? 😂 no 2FA support

two guys running email?

Is it? I can't tell from the about me. It says "In 2014, two of us, Michael Bruderer and Dejan Strbac, started...", but nothing else on the page talks about the size of the company. It started as two people, but is it currently two people? Anyone know?

no 2FA support

The webmail client does have 2FA, but when connecting via client there is no 2FA. Although, not sure what this would look like. Would you enter a TOTP every time you want to connect to the IMAP server? Or do you mean more like an OAuth2 flow, like Gmail, and that asks for your TOTP?

I actually haven't gotten around to playing with purelymail. Not sure if they handle this differently. What service are you thinking about?

My problem is the whole change of address thing. Unfortunately google had perfect timing when they offered a decent amount of storage. It was early enough that changing email was no big deal and late enough that soon it would be. I very much don't like this because if google like just went dark all of a sudden it would be a bad day. Yeah I know its unlikely to the xtreme but still. I know privacy people do not like this idea but I really would like the government to run an email where all citizens are guaranteed one. To me this would make it much easier to have an official one and other emails. I don't get why folks are ok with corporations doing it and trust that they will use safeguards but don't trust the government would. The US postal service is a good example. Laws were well made to protect mail to the point where one way of safeguarding things from police searches was to put it in a stamped envelope. Man I wish our current society and government would be doing things like that again.

What are people’s thoughts on using Apple email? I was thinking of switching from Gmail.
