Hello everyone,

So I’ve been thinking about improving my current email setup, so that my partner can also have her own email (she currently uses Gmail, and is open to switching, but I have to make it easy)

I first considered the usual email providers (Mailbox.org, Posteo), but then I was thinking that it could be nice to use my own domain to have more control and make the thing future-proof.

So here’s my suggested setup

• getting a domain name that could look like a niche email provider (e.g. coolmail.eu)
• getting a https://www.migadu.com/pricing/ micro plan (I don’t need more than 200 in / 20 out), and create a bunch of email aliases such as me@coolmail.eu, her@coolmail.eu, us@coolmail.eu, powerbills@coolmail.eu, etc
• getting a Lite https://addy.io/#pricing plan , and set up addy.io aliases for when we don’t want to share our coolmail.eu emails (e.g. restaurant bookings, online store accounts, Fediverse accounts, etc.)

The main pros of this setup is

• staying in control of the coolmail.eu domain: if migadu goes down, I can stil switch this solution to a similar service like mxroute
• being able to switch from addy.io to another “junk alias” provider if needed
• not exposing the coolmail.eu addresses to most of the data leaks sources
• being able to use migadu as the one centralized place to manage our emails

Now that I think about it, I have one question for Migadu users: in my scenario, I assume I would only be using one Migadu account. In that case, would I be able to see all the emails sent/received by all the addresses in that domain (including my partner)? I guess in that case she should still keep another email address on the side for her personal emails… (I don’t think it’s realistic to expect her to use E2EE)

Am I missing something else?
