The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.
There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.
I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.
As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!
I would like to replace iCloud mail. But I heavily use their „hide my mail“ functionality where I can create as many randomly generated aliases as I want. Is there another service like that?
You are in luck! Pretty much all of the top options in https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ have strong alias support. But Fastmail comes to mind with how it is integrated.
I use StartMail (mentioned on the bottom of the guide) and it supports unlimited email aliases. They don't have a free tier though to my knowledge.
