Depends on your use case. I went with using a custom domain with my iCloud mail account. This lets me accept all messages sent to my custom domain.
So when I create accounts I just use that as the email address like this: lemmy@customDomain.com, bsky@customDomain.com, etc.
They all go to one mailbox but that’s all I need anyway. I’ve been happy with it.
Can you send mail through each email? I had a catch all forwarder before but it l had to reply with a different email, leading to occasional issues.
That’s basically the reason I have a server. I can set up forwarders between my wife and I, and if I need to send mail as kobra@domain.tld, I can just set up the alias and send it.
With apple you’re limited to 5 sending addresses per domain, so no I cannot reply as the from address to most, but that hasn’t been an issue for me at all.
