Please use a personal email. My email is ‘mail’ @ ‘my actual name’. It does not get more personal than that

But you can’t use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

    Stop using self hosted email. It’s just not worth the hassle.

      I like that i have control of my mail, that it is not being used to track me or target ads and also that i dont need to work about storage

      For me its pretty good!

      Its only a hassle because they want to read all your emails. Self hosting shouldn’t be hard it should be an option for everyone always.

      Who said it’s self hosted? For what we know he could be paying $200 a year to Microsoft for his personal mail@domain account under the most expensive office365 plan (sorry, did it change name? What’s called now? Microsoft 365?)
