Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Your first and last points are indeed mostly incompatible. Tuta (free) is an option, however they have been known to close free accounts for being unused. Mailbox.org is what I'd recommend, it's very cheap (a few dollars a year if I recall correctly) and allows for catch-all inboxes if you have your own domain. That means you can have emails like "shoeshop@yourdomain.com".
Alternatively to the domain, you could pay for something like simplelogin, which allows you to create and manage unique email addresses which forward to your actual email if enabled. It's how I determined the source of a past data breach before it was even publicly announced.
Personally, and perhaps oddly, I have a paid Tuta account with simplelogin forwarding to it, and then I also have a mailbox.org account which simplelogin also forwards certain emails to. That's because Tuta requires you to use their own client, and they do not have api level access (that I know of), so my package tracking automations have to use mailbox.org via imap instead.
From your description, why don't you instead pay for a mail provider that offers unlimited alias?
If I understood your setup correctly you pay for both Tuta (email provider) and simple login (alias provider).
I do, I use a mix of both. I use simplelogin to send to specific Tuta aliases for rule based inbox organization.
Tuta is good. The other one is bad, whatever they are called I forget. Tuta will give you a chance to appeal a ban on your use of internet, it you are on a blacklist, and the other won't.
Do you mean mailbox.org as the other?
Uh no. There are several dozen sites that keeps blacklists of users, purportedly for spamming and such, but Israel, (presumably,) has corrupted the system.
Right, but the comment you replied to only mentioned Tuta and mailbox.org, so I wasn't sure which provider you were referring to by "other".
