Tooting my own horn here—you might like looking at my starter kit “Bedrock” which is a minimal set of defaults to make Emacs not look so dumpy. :) Take from it what you’d like.
I use consult-ripgrep to do the search, which shows me a live preview of the match candidates. If I want to make a buffer with all the results, I call embark-act
then embark-export
to dump the results into a buffer.
I detail this workflow (including editing the matches!) here on my blog, which should have more details if you’re lost.

I’ve been a Fastmail user for several years now. I use the masked mail feature extensively. I love controlling my own email domains. Support is 10/10. Very reliable service.
This is my current config: set TERM to “xterm”, and fix the otherwise impossible-to-see ANSI blue:
(use-package eat
:custom
(eat-term-name "xterm")
:custom-face
(ansi-color-bright-blue ((t (:foreground "#00afff" :background "#00afff"))))
:config
(evil-set-initial-state 'eat-mode 'emacs)
(eat-eshell-mode)
(eat-eshell-visual-command-mode))
I had to use Davmail to get it to work. Now I forward everything, so I don’t run Davmail anymore, but it worked well enough while I needed it: https://lambdaland.org/posts/2023-05-03_email_with_outlook/
