[Solved] Is there a cheap email inbox?
I don't mean email service for sending emails. I mean an inbox that would point to my domain. Say "[email protected]", considering I own example.com.
I would use it through Gmail anyway by forwarding and IMAP/POP all emails.
Would you recommend anything?
PS. OVH used to have that in their offer - one-time payment for a few addresses but it's no longer available.
Solved:
Maybe I wasn't very precise here but forwarding emails to Gmail is the thing I needed. I own the domain but I don't have any email service that handles mailing.
It's quite easy to set up with improvmx.com. I'd recommend that. Thanks everyone! 🙏

Zoho has a "Forever Free" Plan at the moment. The plan is upto 5 users, 5GB/ user and 25MB attachment limit.
Nice! I wonder what that means:
So it is not possible to redirect all emails to Gmail inbox? 🤔
You might want to contact Zoho and ask whether they allow email forwarding in the free plan.
I have previously used Zoho and forwarded all those emails to Gmail.
I use zoho for my domain emails and haven't had any problems I forward them all to my Gmail on the free plan.
Maybe that changed 🤷♂️ Now when I try to enable POP3 access for [email protected] with ZOHO I get an error saying: "You are not allowed to access this option. Access permitted for paid user(s) only."
EDIT:
I found something in their help:
I guess "newly signed" indicates that that changed somewhere in the past.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I meant using email forwarding to an existing gmail account, not POP.
No worries! Thanks anyway 🙌
Check out ImprovMX, lots of people here including myself use it for all our indie stuff
That works perfectly! Thanks @ashconnell
I use https://www.migadu.com/ . The yearly plan is quite cheap.
Starts from $19/year. There is a lot of text on that page. I'll have to go through this. Thanks @start123!
Be careful of very cheap ones as sometimes they come with a tradeoff. I use fastmail.com which is still cheap but they have a long story of being a reliable provider which also cares for your privacy. Also you can search online for some coupons or affiliates to get some discount on their plans
$30/year. Not bad. Thanks for recommending @ajimix 🙌
Namecheap's Private Email offers cheap, true mailboxes with adequate features.
Good deal. Only $10.69/year. Thanks Paolo!
You're welcome.
Also there and, while being a little slowish, it's ok. Would recommend to turn of their spam filter, as it tends to eat important emails, which is only possible through their chat 🙄
Good to know, thanks.
They also support DKIM - to be activated through their chat as well 🙄 but it worked well
Yeah, DKIM. I've been struggling to properly configure DKIM/DMARC for my newsletter for months, despite Namecheap's help. I'm waiting for more help from my ESP, Revue.
Mh they gave me the key in the chat, which I entered into my DNS (cloudflare) which worked.
This is so useful! was setup in 5mins tops! too-easy!
you can do it for free with google domains, if you forward the emails destined to [email protected] to your current gmail. I did it a while back - don't remember exactly how, I'm sure you can find it on google - but the end result is that you can receive emails to your current gmail box, and send emails from your current gmail - only that you can choose the From field to be from [email protected]
If you’re sending cold email, you’ll prob get best deliverability with Gmail/Outlook, so that’s something you’d like to consider as well.
I want switch to protonmail.com for that exact reason.
It's like Gsuite but without Google ;)
You even have a VPN with the first tier.
