Skiff Mail Adds a Convenient 'Quick Aliases' Feature
|
||
======
|
||
A time saver feature for email alias users.
|
||
Skiff Mail is a source-available end-to-end encrypted email service with a strong focus on privacy. It is a nice alternative to Gmail and Proton mail in various ways, including its user experience.
|
||
|
||
While it is fairly new compared to its competitors, it might impress you with some of its privacy-focused features.
|
||
|
||
To add to the list, a new quick alias feature has been introduced. I gave it a try, and it sounds like something incredibly handy.
|
||
|
||
### Quick Aliases: One-Time Hassle-Free Setup
|
||
|
||
In general, you create email aliases using some [email protection tools][1] like SimpleLogin, or from within your email provider (whoever it is).
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You have the option to remember the email alias to use it or generate unique aliases every time you sign up for a service, newsletter or provide your contact info to someone you do not know.
|
||
|
||
In other words, it requires multiple interactions from your end to use multiple email aliases for most part.
|
||
|
||
Here, [Skiff Mail][3] lets you claim an entire unique subdomain for yourself like **gojo.maskmy.id** (as I did for my test use-case):
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Next, all you have to do is – treat it as your website address upon activating it, and add anything before that as an email address, such as **[[email protected]][5]** or **[[email protected]][5]**
|
||
|
||
As illustrated by the screenshot above, you can choose to generate a randomized name to claim as well.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You can access the “Quick Aliases” feature from the Settings menu:
|
||
|
||
![][7]
|
||
|
||
So, you no longer have to generate email aliases, but still be able to have unlimited aliases this way. Making it a one-time setup solution, for both online and offline use.
|
||
|
||
I think these types of aliases should have a couple of benefits:
|
||
|
||
* It makes it easy for you to create new aliases without needing to access the tool
|
||
* Makes the email aliases look more genuine than spammy
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
You can claim up to 3 domains per person depending on your subscription (Essential:1, Pro: 2, and Business: 3). And, create unlimited email aliases with them.
|
||
|
||
If you are on the free plan, you can also claim one domain, but you will be limited to 10 aliases.
