- Yes, trusting multiple parties is a valid concern. Whether it’s worth it is for you to decide but I would still use aliases for all my accounts in your situation.
A lot of the posts I read through while researching this (like this one) seemed to recommend the same alias-only approach so I’m tempted to try it. I’ll have to look into it further and decide if I want to stay with Addy (which I don’t use much at the moment) or switch to SimpleLogin depending on the features.
- No you can’t use the same domain at multiple email providers but you can use the domain at Tuta and a subdomain at addy.io. For instance example.com and addy.example.com.
Yeah that makes sense. I looked into this further and it turns out Addy’s FAQ page already addresses this among other things.
- I don’t know if exporting across provides as you describe is possible (it might very well be, I have no clue) but regardless you avoid lock-in by owning the domain. The worst case is you create a catch-all address (*@addy.example.com) at some new provider so you can continue to receive all your email while you work on changing your accounts.
That’s definitely reassuring. Thanks!
