Bonus question: what email inbox client do you use?
You must log in or register to comment.
I use gmail and my own domain with uninbox. The latter is a quite new FOSS email front/backend, but its still very new and lacks essential features.
If I’d make the switch, it would probably be to tutanota.
Protonmail, it’s fantastic. Sleek design, solid feature set, integrates with Thunderbird if you want to use that.
Tuta. It’s great but no third-party client support.
Proton. Yes.
Outlook. Yeah. It works.
Mailfence and Protonmail.
Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.
I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.
I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.
Proton, yes, thunderbird
I used to pay for Gmail, then I used Proton Mail about a year, and I’ve been using Fastmail for the last couple of years, which I recommend. I don’t know of anything that’s as feature-rich and easy to use as Fastmail. You may not be interested in all those fancy features, though.
I use MacOS/iOS Mail clients, but also Thunderbird as I’m trying to wean myself off of Apple’s ecosystem and onto Linux/FOSS.
+1 for fastmail… it’s one of those products that isn’t trying to trick you… you pay for it, and it’s just a solid product that tries to be the best at what it is…
it’ll let you have as many domains and aliases as you like, including wildcards for email (and lets you reply/send appropriately using any of those aliases)
it’ll let you pull all your calendars and push events into a single one of your choosing - it doesn’t have to be theirs
i could probably replicate some of what it does with my home server, but it’s really nice that i don’t have to
I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.
yeah i have my single email account setup with 5 different domains and a multitude of different aliases - including *@auto.<mydomains> so you can sign up for throwaway [email protected] and nobody knows that it’s a throwaway so it never gets blocked by services (and the + trick in emails is well known by people doing nefarious things with email - they’ll automatically strip the wildcard part out so it can’t be traced)
Does it have good spam filtering like Gmail?
Yep! It’s decent
Proton, yes. There are some criticisms to make regarding them, but I think most are either blown out of proportion or a non issue for the majority of people.
It used to don’t require phone number
I recommend it if you’re not using for privacy sensitive use cases, has both IMAP and pop3 for free
It’s been years since I’ve used their service but back then they were notorious for tricking users into signing up for their premium service with dark patterns and making it very hard to cancel. Which is why I left them and have dissuaded anyone from ever using their services.
I self host. Don’t.
Gmail.
No.
Posteo. Happy with them. For client, gnus in Emacs. Have it configured to do Autocrypt too, but almost nobody else on the planet does 🙁
I also use posteo for four or five years now. Really happy and never had any issues so far.
Gmail and protonmail. Both give me no issues at all.
Gmail, wouldn’t recommend. Use it out of necessity.
I use k9 mail for checking on mobile and it is solid most of the time
