Ask HN: What is your ideal personal email setup?

I still am working with a central Gmail account (forwarders and aliases from different addresses) and am thinking with the new year coming it is a fitting time to make a move to improve my setup. I've always been happy to pay, but have never found a combination which felt "right".

So help inspire me - What is your ideal email stack for personal email?

Do you have randomised disposable addresses (if so, how do you generate them? Or are you just using a wildcard?), who hosts your mailbox (or do spend the energy to maintain your own?), and how you view your mail? I have wondered about the benefits of moving to a desktop client, but have never found one for Windows which feels good to use.

Anyone got an idea why it appears "Ask HN" topics are posted more than once that often right now?

I guess it's a software glitch.

@OP: Are you reposting because you see an error message?

Oh dear - I didn't realise it was posting.

I was getting a 500 error on attempting submission and assumed I was falling foul of some ban / filter.

Will see if I can prune the duplicates.

Thanks for letting me know!
