Shortest domain name
Which email provider has the shortest domain name and will allow 2 letter user name?
I was thinking aol.com but I am guessing there must be better ones out there. |

Just buy a .tf or .yt custom domains, still lots of two char domains to grab

Fastmail offers aliases with some short domain names (mm.st, eml.cc, sent.at, sent.to, fea.st, imap.cc, and sent.com) and they allow 2-character user names. They also allow you to set up redirection at the server which allows you to have messages sent to that short alias to be delivered to another email system and appear to not have been forwarded (unless you inspect the full email headers).

Thanks both for your suggestions.
As I am tightfisted and I have a Fastmail account I will go with that option and use one of their short aliases. |

Some reliable providers with short domain names include web.de, gmx.de, ... but I'm not sure if they accept a two-character username. However, both are around for a long time and have proven they're here to stay. That in my opinion is worth more than a very short domain of a really obscure service that may not last long. |
