In my mind at least this would be solved by the “vault” needing to be decrypted with a password every time notes are accessed/saved with the password acting as the key? I’m not terribly well educated on encryption though.

Oh thanks for the heads-up! Will look more into it then.

After some more research it seems that Joplin only E2E encrypts notes at transport and not at rest[1]? e.g. it only stores plain text files on the harddrive just like Obsidian does? This sadly makes it not viable for my use case :/

I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn’t be happier!

99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won’t work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.

Oh okay, I wasn’t sure since you mentioned email forwarding and I saw a couple offerings (like Cloudflare) that only offer email forwarding if I understood correctly.

Thanks again! I’m gonna check them out.

Sorry I should have clarified that I’m not just looking to receive but also send emails from botj of the domains that I use.

Edit: do you mind clarifying why using catchall is a bad idea :)?
