Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service
-
the entire world.
If only they could develop a federated short message system.
Messenger/WhatsApp/slack messaging style but federated like email
-
People still use Email???
The people who dont are usually old as people who dont need it anymore or kids

For now, they're better than Google. I have some bad opinions about them, but anything better than Google competing with Google is an improvement.
Yeah itās not even close.

On top of that, people still use email to sign up for these gardens. Technically, you could use your phone number too. I wonder how far could you take this idea of living completely without email.
Job applications, and several other sign ins still depend on email, so thatās going to be a bit of a hitch.
Yeah and then we can really go hard destroying the lives of people without phone access.
I work for a healthcare company that serves the under privileged and right now in most cities itās easier to guarantee someone has email than a consistent phone number thanks to free WiFi hotspots. You can miss a phone payment and still read your email even if youāre cut off from cellular service.

Email is a must for between businesses. Having said that, lots of internal communication is findingther channels, like Teams, Slack, and so on.
We actually heavily rely on connected channels to talk to most of our vendors now. Once you are on enterprise level support pretty much every vendor gives you a dedicated slack or teams channel.
Itās great since people come and go and we donāt lose our vendor comms history in random inboxes or have someone not CCd on. Any vendor we have linked is also one less vendor someone is likely to be phished talking to the wrong person on the wrong email. For support tickets thereās no wrapping and encrypting shit steps to send critical info over email, we use the slack channel. It really solves a lot of BS

Syncthing still works like that. Itās completely self hostable. I have it on a pi 1B+ lol
I have it but it eats up battery on the phones and the Dev left so it's probably going to go caput at some point.

Oh, thatās a very good point! Makes you look at this proposal in a completely different way.

I think it's incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.
I'm not saying I know the answer- What I'm saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it's not even considerable.
What is it that you're concerned about? Assume that I have no idea what either the new or old Mozilla privacy policy is, please. I tend to assume that all such are a pack of lies and everything is spying on me.

Warranty... Some are 15-20 years, but you need proof of purchase docs, which are often emailed data.
Why not having an archive of exclusively warranties? Emails can be downloaded, indexed and compressed.

Thunderbird Pro will apparently be:
This email thing plus Thunderbird Send (which is basically https://send.vis.ee/), Thunderbird Appointment - a scheduling tool and Thunderbird Assist, which is:
"...at least for now, being cautiously labeled as āan experimentā that will allow users to take advantage of AI features within their email. However, the goal is to be lightweight enough that the language models can be run locally on a userās PC in the interest of privacy. This service is being developed in partnership with Flower AI, which leverages Nvidiaās confidential compute to provide private remote processing in the event a userās PC isnāt powerful enough. Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy."
So AI shit that nobody asked for or wants.
This covers my thoughts about damn near every "helpful" feature this side of auto-complete email addresses.

You can't know that with absolute certainty. Sorry, but if you're using someone elses server for your communications and they're not end to end encrypted, you should just assume that they can and do read your emails, and act accordingly.

Here's what I want.... I leave a computer on at home and it checks my email. I get emails from it at my phone. No setup. Make it work like Sinkthing used to work. I don't want cloud anything. Fucking backup nightmare where my shit ends up kidnapped by a company for monthly ransom.

Aw man, I really love syncthing, especially across my computers/backup server at home. I donāt even know what Iād use instead

Tell me you have no meaningful impact on the world without telling me you have no meaningful impact on the world.
