lnemail / LNemail is on Nostr

Might enable sending as well soon. Some other users showed interest as well. It's amazing how many problems disappear (service abuse) when the incentives are aligned by paying sats for a service.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info.
This would then mean becoming a full-fledged email provider, but that's OK if there's the demand for it.
As a user, do you prefer a “premium” account that grants you unlimited IMAP access for receiving and sending. Or just the option in the “standard” account to pay for sending each time from the web UI?
Thanks a lot for your input BTW!

Proton or Tuta offer full no-KYC email accounts for free. Limited to one free account per individual by their T&C. It takes a few more clicks to create one and they are harder to automate (creation and usage). But they are probably better if you plan on using them regularly.
Do you think sending emails from LNemail still make sense anyway?

Thanks for the suggestion!
The server is technically ready for sending emails, and a small sats payment per email could deter spam.
But it would shift LNemail from a disposable inbox to a more full-featured email service though, which wasn't the original focus.
Did you have a specific use case in mind for sending?

Features:

- Receive-only inbox
Perfect for account verification, 2FA, and newsletter subscriptions without the 10-minute limitation of other disposable services.
