Feedback on forwardemail.net?

ForwardEmail.net looks pretty promising privacy wise but most of their website seems to be AI-generated with lots of "bullet point summaries", tables, paragraphs like you'd expect from a ChatGPT response. Even their technical whitepaper looks like it's been written with a LLM and their support boils down to an AI chatbot.

There's also CodaMail.com but they don't offer unlimited aliases, are more expensive and they too have mostly AI-generated content, it's even made their way to their webmail login page which has a weird image of an elephant. That said I've been in touch with their support and they are very responsive and helpful (humans).

Unlimited aliases and not being locked into an ecosystem like Proton or Tuta's are a must for me, so I guess I'll have to forget about having a somewhat encrypted mailbox and go with either Fastmail or Soverin, unless anyone has other recommendations?

    ForwardEmail looks neat, haven't heard of them before.

    it's even made their way to their webmail login page which has a weird image of an elephant

    That's just the standard roundcube login page with some weird design overrides.

    unless anyone has other recommendations?

    Join our beta soon ;) https://incognet.io/hosted-email

    Though it should be noted what we're doing is going to be pretty barebones and not a lot of flash.

    For anyone considering this after the recent drama: the owner of forwardemail is way worse than jar.

    Also, they demand payment from some users in the free tier after some time. I'd avoid them, Cloudflare is a better alternative for forwarding (and completely free).

    I use for a while. ForwardEmail is painful if you want to send email, very eccentric in terms of requiring support to whitelisting when you add a domain, add a sender, takes a few hours to a few days

    Best I can describe is very eccentric. Not like many other service.

    Hey man, can you please message me on LET when you launch this. I kinda find it interesting and even if I might not personally buy it for example, I would still love to know when it comes in general availability to share it to other people

    have a good day manndude and make the feature GA soon!

    Looks good, I might give it a go when you release it!

    Thanks for your feedback @Nyr @aphex, that's what I was worried about honestly. I caved in and went with Tuta, at this point I don't really care if I have to use their app. 3 custom domains and 20 GB storage is enough for me and EUR 3/mo is a decent price.

    I think forwardemail did not start out as an actual inbox which might explain some things. It was origin as an forwarder, the rest seem bolted on.

    Which of following you are seeking all in one service?

    • email hosting, like fastmail
    • outbound email relay, like mail of baby
    • forwarding, like cloudflare email forwarding inbound only
    • disposables, like addy io
  • i think Cotse.Net was supreme bach in teh days, wasn`t it? @ the old timers here on let

    This is terrible, an elephant has broken into the data center.

    I remember cotse from the late 90's early 2000's. I think they're still around in some form.

  • There's also CodaMail.com but they don't offer unlimited aliases, are more expensive and they too have mostly AI-generated content, it's even made their way to their webmail login page which has a weird image of an elephant. That said I've been in touch with their support and they are very responsive and helpful (humans).

    I believe they offer unlimited aliases, just not unlimited "masked aliases". But the pricing page needs more clarity.

    I've been testing codamail for a few months as I plan my exit from Proton. It's sort of like the founder went away for 15 years and returned and began modernizing the service. Timeline here: https://codamail.com/aboutus.html

    They have a really excellent blog https://codamail.com/blog.html and a really easy to read
    privacy policy here https://codamail.com/privacypolicy.html

    I just find the cost kind of high for the disk space you get, but they do allow encrypting incoming email with your public key which is potentially useful and more secure than Fastmail

    just heard the name from you ! :)

  • I've been using them for a few months and the experience is good.

    I'm now with NameCrane & AhaSend for all my email needs.

    It's intentional. Elephants never forget, so they're a good temporary memory replacement during the RAM shortage.

    Anyone have experience or familiarity with ProxiedMail.com or can opine on it?

  • @JosephF said:

    I'm testing it, so far it works, but it is not as good as Addy.io.
    ProxiedMail chrome extension is useless, so you will have to use catch-all or manually create the alias beforehand.

    Addy.io or MXroute alias with their Chrome plugin works better because you don't have to rely on catch-all rules if you do not want catch-all enabled.
