Email Alternatives to Gmail

[fake4000@lemmy.world]

Any reasons why?

[bunkyprewster@lemmy.world]

Isn't Proton a little.. fascist?

[compostgoblin@slrpnk.net]

Less than Google is, for now. But still bad enough for me to be switching to Tuta

[devfuuu@lemmy.world]

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 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.

[ajen@sh.itjust.works]

It's the only service I don't self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don't tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won't get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn't even valid.

[ajen@sh.itjust.works]

If your server goes down you'll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn't reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can't get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.

Oh I was just making a light-hearted joke about the demographic here, it's definitely still good info to include.

[anomnom@sh.itjust.works]

I know you don’t need the validation, but I have 6-7 domains that don’t have email on them at the moment.

[pyr_pressure@lemmy.ca]

I just want to swipe left and right to go back and forth between emails in my inbox

Happy Fastmail user here. Has a lot of extra features.
