Email Alternatives to Gmail
-
I’ve been tempted by Tuta, it seems nice but I’m torn over IMAP access
-
migadu seems very cool, especially with that pricing, but i'm kinda concerned about the mail limits
-
I would probably stick with Proton for the time.. Gmail isn't private, Outlook I see as being about the same as Gmail.. just blue.. and then Disroot from this Reddit post suggests it is not encrypted at rest.
-
Fair warning: it's likely that your ISP will block attempts at self-hosting a mail server at home.
-
Who here doesn't have at least one unused domain?
-
Yeah it sucks but at least they have a good Linux AppImage (sadly no BSD). Their Android client is also fine and is on F-Droid.
-
Any reasons why?
-
Isn't Proton a little.. fascist?
-
Less than Google is, for now. But still bad enough for me to be switching to Tuta
-
All the reasons. It's a well known problem that it's super hard to host email.
-
Still 10 times less fascist than Google.
Andy Yen is also Pro-Ukraine, Pro- Hong Kong protesters, anti Russia censorship.
(And I think he donated money to Ukraine during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine if I recall correctly)
-
Idk, just thought it was worth mentioning cause it's not like Proton or Tuta where they have [email protected] or whatever
-
Btw if you're a student, shoot them an email and you can get a nice discount!
-
i am! Thank you so much for telling me!
-
I just moved away from Proton to Posteo for mail and calendar and Addy.io for email aliases.
-
Andy Yen is a right-wing Libertarian that have no idea what he's talking about.
That's enough for me to leave. Add on to the fact that Proton has been severely mismanaged since its inception. He'd rather prioritize crypto wallets and shoving AI into email than getting basic shit working.
-
I'm really happy with Posteo. It costs like 1€/month.
-
They don't want their network blocks reputation lowered because some idiot is sending spam mail or has an open relay. Apparently some will allow it on request.
Personally my mail server is on a Hetzner VPS.
