I have an ancient domain that for years has been hosted with a company that allowed wildcard email forwarding - so *@example.com was forwarded to my gmail. So over the years, I’ve just used a new email address for every signup of anything.

Sadly, the company is getting out of hosting, so I need to move the domain somewhere. The commercial email hosting I’ve seen seen around is all paid for per mailbox.

Is there a commercial email host that would allow a wildcard like that?

I have low desire to run my own email hosting, but perhaps if it’s just a bunch of forwards that might be simpler?

    Is it stored on their servers as e2ee though? Yeah the Tutanota client leaves a lot to be desired. I really like how their calendar and email are rolled into one though and it’s relatively simple. Still missing a ton of features though.

      My understanding is only tuta to tuta is e2ee (via GPG). However, When you send or receive an external (non-tutanota)email, all they do is encrypt it for your inbox. Obviously its stored unencrypted in gmails servers, if you’re talking to someone at gmail, for example.

      From what I remember, you can’t even use GPG to encrypt an email to someone external, you have to use their service that someone has to click a link, put in a password to view.

      As for e2ee on the wire, almost all emails are encrypted, this isn’t unique to tuta. It’s basically HTTPS but for emails. Only a bad or misconfigured host would be unencrypted/HTTP.

      Edit: to answer your question more directly, i believe mailbox.org + GPG encrypted inbox is the exact same thing as tuta. Not exactly E2EE but I get IMAP and I can use Thunderbird and use GPG with external people.

        Yeah I know that about sending emails, which the e2ee may as well not exist lol. But your mailbox and calendar is also all e2ee, which I’m not sure many other services that do that. I’m pretty sure protonmail does though.

          I’m not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don’t care.

          I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.

            Yeah I self host a lot of stuff, but don’t bother with email. I feel like it’s one of the hardest to configure and maintain, then there’s the spam folder issue you just said.
