# Addy.io Outgoing Replies **URL:** https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/addy-io-outgoing-replies/35746 **Category:** Questions **Tags:** please-eli5 **Created:** 2026-02-25T02:34:02Z **Posts:** 7 ## Post 1 by @Aflame-Blighted — 2026-02-25T02:34:02Z Long time lurker, first time question asker: On the Email Aliasing recommendation page the Outgoing Replies box for [Addy.io](http://Addy.io) is not ticked like it is on SimpleLogin. As someone who currently uses SimpleLogin through Proton, but is potentially looking to diversify, does [Addy.io](http://Addy.io) not allow outgoing replies like SimpleLogin does? Their website gives the impression that it works almost identically to SimpleLogin, although obviously not as intertwined as SimpleLogin, ProtonPass & ProtonMail. When I started my privacy journey I now realise I gave too many people & businesses my actual Proton email address. After doing more research and learning a lot from this site & forum, if I did change to [Addy.io](http://Addy.io) I would be pointing it to my Tuta email address (PGP isn’t a requirement for me), or potentially a custom domain through Tuta. I will test [Addy.io](http://Addy.io) through Tuta myself, but I just want to check whether the Email Aliasing page is correct, or if it needs updating. --- ## Post 2 by @Grapeg — 2026-02-25T03:53:23Z I think they mean on the free plan, as a lite user I can confirm replies and sends are working fine for me. I also use tuta with my custom domain but if I was to start over I’d use addy for managing the domain, it provides more control of the aliases. --- ## Post 3 by @kissu — 2026-02-25T17:33:54Z Indeed, the important keyword is `free` in this context ![CleanShot 2026-02-25 at 18.28.07@2x](https://forum-uploads.privacyguidesusercontent.com/original/3X/1/f/1f6ea1ef8a608a18ba3a7390fc1aebc2b2f598bc.png) It is mostly because: - sending emails is never free[[1]](#footnote-141431-1), hence no developer wants to eat the cost for you (mostly because of people abusing the system) - receiving is far cheaper + easier, hence it’s fine into a free-tier - if PG focuses on free tiers in their recommendations it’s because it’s still the best kind of anonymity (to not even need any kind of money transaction :+1:t2:) - you can meanwhile still buy a gift card anonymously for either SimpleLogin or Addy [on this store](https://digitalgoods.proxysto.re/en)[[2]](#footnote-141431-2) * * * I do have extensive experience with both SimpleLogin and Addy, hence feel free to ask some details if you have further questions. :+1:t2: * * * > [@Grapeg](#): > > I’d use addy for managing the domain, it provides more control of the aliases As said plenty of times, I do consider that Addy is overall a far greater experience overall than SimpleLogin. I admit that I never used it through ProtonPass but I’m not trusting any kind of services when it comes down to my passwords + don’t want to put all my eggs into 1 single basket. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: * * * 1. and actually quite complex even [↩︎](#footnote-ref-141431-1) 2. and maybe others if not in EU [↩︎](#footnote-ref-141431-2) --- ## Post 4 by @Grapeg — 2026-02-26T05:28:38Z I agree addy is a slicker product than simplelogin which is a huge testament to the developer. I also agree about password managers, the security of which imo is an order of magnitude more important than any of my apps and several more than email. No way will I use a password manager that is bundled with other apps which all share the same login criteria. I’m actually quite tempted by the addy/free protonmail combo with addy managing all aliasing. I already have a proton account and I already have an addy account. So I just need to switch my custom domain from Tuta to Addy, export my emails and load them into Proton. I expect I’d have to upgrade my Addy plan too. But a still in pole position is fastmail which offers a much cleaner solution to aliasing (eg they don’t get routed and thus display normally in the mailbox). --- ## Post 5 by @Grapeg — 2026-02-28T06:14:46Z I’ve just discovered through testing that protonmail now shows simple login aliases in their correct form, ie “alias@simplelogin.com” instead of the unpleasant “alias at [simplelogin.com](http://simplelogin.com)”. A good reason to prefer simple login over Addy if using protonmail. Now my choice is down to a simplelogin premium account coupled with protonmail free vs fastmail. --- ## Post 6 by @kissu — 2026-02-28T06:20:50Z How aliases is displayed is a configurable thing in the settings. :+1:t2: Not sure one or the other are really that different tho. :face_without_mouth: --- ## Post 7 by @Grapeg — 2026-02-28T06:38:06Z Its only protonmail that displays the aliases this way :thinking:
