        Tuta has a catch-all option that you could consider. Makes it so you can make any email address under your domain and it’ll get to your mailbox.

          Every account I have on the internet has a unique randomly generated email that forwards to my real email.

          iCloud and Proton are the two big names that support this. It’s invaluable.

            There are other options for email aliases. iCloud has a pretty robust system, and its ubiquity makes it less likely to be filtered.

                True, but that’s defense by concealment. If they notice the domain, they can block it without harming their business. My argument is that iCloud is too large for them to block.

            Ah, I see the confusion. Originally you mentioned two Proton services, password manager and email provider. The person who replied to you suggested two alternative password managers (one commercial, the other one FOSS). You then replied saying without a specific email feature it would be pointless, which would be fair for an alternative email provider but doesn’t apply in this case.

              Well since in proton the email alias feature is integrated into the password manager (which is really useful) I don’t see them as that unlinked. It would be like having a password manager without the ability to make random passwords, basically pointless. One compromised service and my email will be spammed across the internet until the end of time.
