What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?

GhostTheToast , 1 hour ago

Purely Mail, yes; so long as you’re comfortable with one guy running the service.

Thunderbird for desktop and K-9 for Andriod. Only because they were the most recommended and completely fit my needs.

Purely Mail has been a good experience for me so far.

Proton for personal email. Not immediately needing to escape but once my free email runs out of storage I plan to switch to something else because of the concerns raised by the incident with the French climate activist.

ProtonMail. Works great for the most part.

Except their desktop “app”, which is total shit. It’s just a webview in an electron framework. If I wanted to keep a webview, I’d just keep a tab open in my browser. Or a separate browser window if I wanted to keep it separate.

If you use the paid version of proton you can use basically any third party client (I use thunderbird)

I self host, on a personal domain I registered in June 2000. Mostly followed a 13?-part tutorial at I think linuxbabe dot com, was the first one that seemed to genuinely be trying to help you set up a good environment, not just as a way to say “doesn’t this sound difficult? Impossible even? Coincidentally you can pay us to do this instead.” Except I put everything on its own VM instead of all on one. (Even a VM for just opendkim, which was maybe not necessary.)

Mostly iPhone mail app and/or Roundcube webmail.

Yes highly recommend it, for receiving email. Greylist blocks like 99.8% of spam. Sending works fine for me, because it’s an old domain with history. I don’t think brand new domains have the same experience.

I use my own domain with MythicBeasts for hosting, and Geary as a client on Manjaro GNOME, K9 Mail on Android.

Migadu. Yeah*. On the computer, I use mostly aerc (+notmuch), but hop on Thunderbird once in a while; on mobile I use K-9.

Okay you added an asterisk but I’m not seeing a footnote. Is that a markup typo?

Mailbox.org with my own custom domain ([email protected]) and Thunderbird for an email client.

I would highly recommend it. It is cheap and includes almost a complete replacement for Google services (email, contacts, calendar, online drive, etc).

Please consider your privacy. Giving all you emails to Google (or other mainstream data harvesters) basically gives them deep info about your whole life (purchases, travel, communication…everything).

Having a custom domain let’s you go to any provider you like if you want to switch.

Gmail

Works fine. The only thing I wish they supported is shared mailboxes.

krash , 7 hours ago

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.

Zoho, because it’s email server is free to use for custom domain adresses

Posteo. Happy with them. For client, gnus in Emacs. Have it configured to do Autocrypt too, but almost nobody else on the planet does 🙁

rbn , 7 hours ago

I also use posteo for four or five years now. Really happy and never had any issues so far.

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

Diddlydee , 9 hours ago

Gmail and protonmail. Both give me no issues at all.

Nice try phisher

My own. With blackjack and hookers.

As a client I use Kmail. But I’m not really satisfied. Kmail 3 was so great, I miss it. I should go back to Thunderbird.
