@pimoore I'm planning to continue forwarding from Fastmail to HEY and using my @baty.net address for everything. I've no plans for the @hey.com address but it's there if I find a use for it, I suppose. This has been smooth ever since they added the ability to SMTP forward from my baty.net address right from HEY.
@maique I'm not sure which is the best route, honestly. I'll be watching HEY for Domains features over the coming months. Who knows, they might add something I can't live without :). The biggest thing that made me stick with Fastmail too is that my wife isn't interested in "learning a whole new email thingy" and it's also much cheaper adding her to Fastmail than to HEY. So for now, it's both.
@jack I'd be very interested in reading your thoughts about your Remarkable at some point. I doubt anyone else here has as much experience with alternative tools as you do. Of course skip any definitive conclusions, as we know you might change those at any time. ๐
@manton @maique @Ron @jack @ohBananaJoe @hjertnes @pimoore @Burk interesting conversation. I have tried Hey but decided to stick with FastMail for another year. I did, however, subscribe to SimpleLogin.Io with custom domains that forwards to FastMail. What makes this great is that you can send from the aliases you create on the fly while hiding your FastMail email address.
@jack This is actually a great idea. I saw Hey for Domains and was like "Maybe time to finally try it" not realizing they had SMTP/Forwarding. Imma try that out, thank you!
@jack @merecivilian yeah - it is a way to hide your real email address and have really unique aliases per site/service. What is even better is that you can reply with the alias as FROM email address. Can't do that with the "+" technique.
@pimoore there are some minor inconvenience with SimpleLogin which I have detailed in my blogpost. May be of use to you.
