Proton pass does e-mail aliases if you pay up for the high tier subscription

Which is through SimpleLogin, which Proton bought.

I own a custom domain and actually use Tutanota as my host. Self hosting is a nightmare and easy to fuck up, which leads to your emails getting sent to spam or just not receiving. I use custom domain support in Tutanota that costs me $12/yr (2 custom domains) and my domain is $15/yr. Since custom domains stick out like a sore thumb, if I need privacy then I will use AnonAddy to forward to my email with an anonymous forwarder.

Like 99.9% of my emails aren't encrypted but that's not the point. Tutanota removes a lot of the privacy leaks via metadata and has privacy protection measures by default like disabling images from automatically loading. Also it's calendar/contacts/email all rolled into one and everything is e2ee. Not to mention, unlike ProtonMail, they have their own push service that works on DeGoogled Android and can be installed from fdroid.

this is a very sensible alternative to actually going all-in on self-hosting mail, which is a total pain in the ass.

Anonaddy/Addy.io to create aliases, then PGP encrypt it before forwarding to my Google mailbox.

I also use Proton but considering ditching it in favor of Anonaddy.
