LPT: If you are using Google Mail, you are provided two unique mail addresses by using either '@googlemail.com' or '@gmail.com' which allows you to create two different accounts for a service with just one address.
Alternatively, you can also add a '+' to an existing Gmail account and it'll be treated as an alternative mail account if you want to sign up for multiple accounts. So if my default email were [email protected] , I could also use [email protected] or [email protected] and so on. All emails will show up in your general account ( [email protected] ).

LPT: you can use @gmail.com and @googlemail.com interchangeably. Perfect for signing up to a website twice without setting up two accounts.

This is the best LPT, I've seen in forever. And the top comment it's a useful extension instead of a negation!

r/selfhosted on Reddit: Setting up a self-hosted mail server to download all Gmail emails (no space left :D)
September 12, 2024 -

Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice on setting up a self-hosted mail server. I want to download all my emails from Gmail and store them locally on my own server, but I’ll still send emails via Gmail. I would also like to access my emails on my smartphone, similar to how I do now with Gmail.

I have a static IP and I’m considering using a virtual machine or Docker to host the mail server. My priorities are:

  1. Downloading and keeping all my Gmail emails stored locally.

  2. Setting it up so I can easily access these emails on my phone (no need to send emails from this server, just access).

  3. Ensuring good security and reliability.

Is there a specific setup or tool you’d recommend? Would Docker or a virtual machine be better in this case? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
