+1 for using Migadu, great value and works well.
I switched from Addy to unbox.at . It's the same software but hosted by adminforge.de, and you can use the full features for free (and donate as you find it useful). This includes utilizing your own domain.
I don't know if you can use the official Google Play version of Addy.io to manage it, but the F-droid version works perfectly with Unbox (and the web interface is identical). Highly recommended.
Very cool, thank you!
No experience with Migadu but yeah, I think 1 account = 1 login is the intended meaning in their FAQ.
At $19/year couldn't just gifting a separate micro sub to your SO might be a option if you adminning her email feels weird to either of you?
Am I missing something else?
You don't mention how you'll be accessing your emails so maybe this is something you already solved for: Regularly syncing down all mail locally means you won't have to rely on the mail provider as a single-point-of-failure for keeping your emails safe, secure, private and available. This could consist of anything from a simple offlineimap cronjob to a full-blown "offline" separate mail server.
Thank you for your feedback!
Yes, I guess I'll reach out to Migadu (even use the free trial) to see how that point can be solved.
And yeah, good point for the offlineimap cronjob, I'll take note of that.
good point for the offlineimap cronjob, I’ll take note of that.
I might as well go as far as suggesting to start there with your current mail provider if the local/offline-first flow is something that could work for you (and assuming it's not something you already do, in which case carry on). Once you've adapted to a local-first mail reading flow with any client that's separate from the "app" or webmail tethered to your mail service, then rest of migrations should be smoother and hopefully feel less daunting. Doesn't mean you have to keep doing it that way only forever but establishing the infra and habit once for a while can help with both resilience and confidence in everything that follows.
If you're roaming between devices and places enough that local-first feels untenable then the "syncbox" could be a little SBC or whatever; it could be the machine you also use read and write mail from but doesn't have to be.
NP and good luck!
Indeed, I'll start looking at that!
Just FYI, seems like Migadu still allows multiple mailboxes with different creds under the same account: https://www.migadu.com/guides/identities/
