I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won’t manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.

How do you reply to emails to your catch-all?
Hit reply.
This is why I just moved from protonmail to Fastmail. With Fastmail I can send from arbitrary addresses using my domain. Why it’s not that simple with proton is beyond me and now that I’ve tested everything with Fastmail these past few weeks, I see it’s a choice.
I almost signed up for simplelogin but realized I was being sold something that should just be included. Plus setup was convoluted as fuck.
Meanwhile Fastmail is intuitive so far.
But in some cases you don’t want to use arbitrary addresses, but the exact same that was used to send you an e-mail. For me this is necessary and Simplelogin hides my real e-mail address. Additionally, I can with ease deactivate addresses and minimize spam by a lot.
I can reply from ANY address from my domain including the exact one that was used to send me an email.
I can “deactivate addresses” by sending messages to a particular address straight to trash with rules.
Edit: turns out Fastmail has a masked addresses feature built in, separate from a catch-all. It’s basically simplelogin built in, if you want to enable it. Proton is looking more and more overpriced.
