Email Alternatives to Gmail

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

No lol

Isn't this the same Purism company that scammed people using the "pre-order" shenaigan with the Librem 5 "Privacy Smartphone"?

Okay. I thought they were good.

[jetpackjackson@feddit.org]

Ah gotcha!

[jetpackjackson@feddit.org]

You're welcome!

Care to hand down one? I only have free domains, like stuff that ends with cr.hf or whatever

[can@sh.itjust.works]

Domains are pretty inexpensive. I've used Namecheap but shop around.

Mailbox.org works for me.
