After using my own domain for my email for SO long, going back to something like “username@hey.com” would feel like a huge step backwards. (especially given that you are almost certainly not going to get the username you want.)

Stick with one email. That you own.

@Burk how you get your own? You use Fastmail?

@Gabz yep! We use fastmail. Used hover for years then switched to fastmail a year or two ago.

@vincent Go for it, affiliate away! 👍

@Burk That’s been my philosophy for a long time too. My only hesitation is getting phished, and I can’t remember who it happened to, but hackers stole a domain name and then all of his passwords were reset. But with two factor authentication, and not being a big name online, the chance of that happening are vanishingly small.

@maique @Gabz Agree 100% about FastMail and their many many domains that you can grab semi-disposable email addresses at. Plus their support for email at your own domain is simple and rock solid. And their iOS app is nice too.

@Gabz I have self hosted for about 20 years. But for my new company we initially setup on fastmail, then moved to O365 as we needed office stuff for other reasons and it was about the same cost. Pretty happy with both fastmail and o365 :)

@maique @gabz I use FastMail in Mail.app on my Mac and on iOS. I also use the FM app on iOS. I like them both in different ways. I can get a lot done in Mail.app but FastMail’s search is superior and faster in my experience.
