I am now using disroot . I don’t care about anonymity or anything as I just wanna use it to connect to my bank, ID and buy/book shit etc. Which all have my phone number, address, name etc anyway so no point in that . I just want the security privacy to be good enough that no one can easily hack it, steal my OTP, inbox etc and I want it to be big and trusted enough that they won’t sell it/sell it and go Scott free also gmail asks email or phone number for verification and then brick acc if I don’t comply so I’d like to skip those kind of ones . Is disroot enough for my uses ? Also I’d like a free one as I barely use emails like 3 or 4 times a year .

      I understand.
      You could look into getting a domain either way, it really is pretty simple — you go to a registrar website (I like porkbun.com), choose your domain name and purchase it. To get the email stuff going, it’s just a bit of copy pasting between their guide and the domain’s control panel.

      Like I said, this domain stuff is useful outside of Migadu and similar services, but for a more 0-config option, I think disroot is alright. You also have a mailbox.org and StartMail (from StartPage).

      It’s also cheap. Not free but their lowest plan is something like $12/year.

          Ah cool. It’s starts being very competitive very fast if you need more than one mailbox and/or more than one domain. Regular services will ask for something like $5/mo (per domain and per mailbox!) which adds up very quickly.

          Wish more services used the “all you can eat” model. Charging for emails sent/received and for storage space is all that’s needed. Charging for “mailboxes” or “domains” or “aliases” has always been a scam.
