QMailing vs SimpleLogin
SimpleLogin forwards aliases into your existing inbox. QMailing hosts the mailboxes themselves.
What SimpleLogin is
SimpleLogin (now part of Proton, open-source) is an email alias service: mail sent to an alias is forwarded to your real inbox, and you can reply from the alias through a reverse-address. It hides your address — but everything still pools into the one mailbox underneath.
| What you get | QMailing | SimpleLogin |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually is | Real, separate mailboxes | Alias that forwards |
| Inbox & storage | Its own inbox + storage, each | Lands in your existing inbox |
| Permanence | Permanent — kept forever | As permanent as your real inbox |
| Send & reply | Native, from each address | Via reverse-alias |
| Custom domain | Yes, from the Plus plan | Premium only |
| Scale | 3–400, one dashboard | Many aliases, one inbox |
Choose QMailing when
- You want each address to be its own inbox with its own storage, not a relay into one pile.
- You'd rather not maintain a separate 'real' mailbox behind the aliases at all.
- You manage mailboxes for a team and want to hand one off or transfer it cleanly.
Choose SimpleLogin when
- You're happy reading everything in your current inbox and just want to mask your address.
- Forwarding-and-reply is all you need, and PGP forwarding matters to you.
- You want to self-host the forwarder yourself.
The honest take
SimpleLogin is an excellent alias forwarder. QMailing is a different thing: the mailboxes are real and self-contained, so there's no 'main inbox' everything funnels back into.
