Port87? (At least I hope, because I made it. :)

Many websites prevent providing aliased Gmail address, how you're planning to address that issue?

[–] hperrin 4 points 8 months ago

I use a dash (hyphen) instead of a plus. It’s worked everywhere I’ve tried it. You can still use a plus if you want, but the address it shows for a label in the UI is with a dash.

That looks... surprisingly promising

Signed up for the waitlist, it sounds interesting.

Interesting idea. I signed up for the waitlist. I keep considering hosting my own email server but it’s a huge pain in the ass just like BIND can be

This looks nice but my worry is itll be gone in a year or two and then i lose access to accounts and important emails and people are emailing a non existing email. Any step y’all take to prevent this?

I’m funding the project myself, and I should be able to fund it for many years. Of course the goal is to become profitable, and that will mainly be done through business and enterprise accounts. I’m working on a custom domain feature though, which would allow you to bring your own domain. That way, you could ensure that your email addresses will always be yours.

Would've could've should've.
