| SimpleLogin was [acquired by Proton AG](https://proton.me/news/proton-and-simplelogin-join-forces) as of April 8, 2022. If you use [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/pricing) and [Proton Pass](https://proton.me/pass/aliases) (excluding the Proton Mail Free plan) for your primary mailbox, SimpleLogin's features have been incorporated as "[hide-my-email aliases](https://proton.me/blog/hide-my-email-aliases)" and is a great choice. As both products are now owned by the same company you now only have to trust a single entity. We also expect that SimpleLogin will be more tightly integrated with Proton's offerings in the future. SimpleLogin continues to support forwarding to any email provider of your choosing. | ||

"And vice versa" is confusing because we talk about 3 separate Proton plans in the sentence prior.

This is more of a Proton Pass feature than a SimpleLogin feature, and the integration with Proton Mail is still fairly lacking, because you still can't easily send from aliases in Proton Mail :(
I'd rather shorten this paragraph up and maybe mention this feature under Proton Mail's (or Pass's) listing in the future, but only if the integration gets better than it currently is. When Proton Mail lets you generate reply-from aliases in the message composer that will be more relevant.

Hey. So it's very easy to reply to any alias you make in Proton Pass from within Proton Mail - if anybody sends an email to that address and you click "Reply" it doesn't go from your email to the sender... it goes from your email to the alias, which sends it on to the sender. I can maybe add some text to explain this?
(I only recently discovered this but it does seem to work fine)

Right but you can't send a new email from an alias easily because there is no composer integration.

Ah, I see. Sure... but I actually don't think I have a need for that?
The point of email aliasing, to me, is so that all the random websites that demand an email address for no reason other than they can to not be getting any genuine email addresses that can be linked behind the scenes.
But if I need to be regularly sending from an email alias then this is unlikely to be shopping or social media or anything like that... and... well... in all of those situations the person on the other end already knows me and so I create a real email address (e.g. [email protected]) and use a proper email alias (of which I can have 15 on my Proton Mail plan) rather than one of these login aliases.
What's the use case for needing a "spoof" alias where you also need to be able to initiate email chains?

Yeah honestly seems like a feature rather than a bug. Keeps you from accidentally crossing the streams as it were.
