There need to be portability laws for email addresses. You know how cell phone companies are legally required to transfer your phone number if you ask? That, but for email. I'd have a much worse time losing my email address than my phone number.

This is pretty wild, because #Skiff clearly started as a #Notion competitor (and I evaluated it as a replacement to use at #DistributeAid), and now they sold to Notion and will shut down.

I had an account at . Just deleted it after getting the notion news. Sad to know the service will be now part of notion (🤮).

One extra reason for people to become paying subscribers (I am in the process of becoming) to services like and

Dear freeloaders who keep whining that doesn’t give you everything: This is what happens when a service does exactly that.

Skiff got bought up by Notion.
This means that all skiff users need to find a new platform.
Notion does not even offer an email service, so we just lost a big player in the privacy community, very sad that they made this decision. I have considered switching to something like or .
From what i have seen we have 6 months to migrate

Sad to see mail is dead in the water.

Any recommendations for a privacy focused provider that’s fairly priced?

Blergh, so Skiff is going shutting down and being merged with Notion. Expect a 6 months grace period before all products being sunset.

I saw this coming, thankfully I have my nerd-fu ready to deal with this kind of planned outage.

Happy to take recommendations for other email / calendar providers!

What a joke. I don’t know how people didn’t see this coming. The red flags were all over the place.

Skiff is closing down it's product suites after being acquired by notion. Suggest a new email provider which supports mbox file import.

Ich habe mir letzte Woche den den Service man angeschaut. Die Oberfläche ist zwar etwas angestaubt, aber erinnert mich sehr an die frühen Zeiten von OpenOffice/LibreOffice und ist vor allem im Gesamtpaket leistungsstark, auch in der kostenlosen Variante (inklusive Domainverwaltung).

Von mir gibt es zumindest ein👍

Another interesting video from "By Default". It's pretty cool how he just suddenly appeared and made cool video after cool video 👀

And fuck now I'm kinda wondering if I should consider migrating at least a few things away from Gmail :thinking__ai:

Sounds good...

"Searching through email content in an end-to-end encrypted email provider is no easy feat. Because Skiff does not have access to any user emails, all search queries have to be performed client-side. To make this possible, we’ve developed innovative search indexing algorithms that work in the browser, in Skiff’s Windows and macOS apps, and in our iOS and Android native apps."

:alert: Software startup Skiff.com falsely advertises it's email client as

I currently recommend avoiding using, and/or contributing to their products, until they fix their false advertising.

They are actually licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA (Non commercial, share-a-like), which is not an open source license (as commercial use allowed is a requirement for open source).

When confronted on Github, the issue was shortly closed, saying that the libraries used for the apps are open source, and that they have no plan for allowing commercial use for their apps.

I pointed out that open source requires commercial use, and I got this reply from their CEO:

"Commercial use is not a requirement for open source software. Study the MongoDB case."

Didn't know that MongoDB is open source. Because it's not. It's source-available, not open source.

Well, can't blame for users not checking this. Even It's FOSS News publication (https://news.itsfoss.com/skiff-mail-review/) got baited. Startups are using open source software's reputation, without contributing to the community (by using an proper license).

The more I look into private and secure email the more I get slightly overwhelmed with information. There are many options. Before I take the plunge into completely moving my email and going through that hassle I thought it would see if anyone have experience with @protonmail, @fastmail or any others.

Thanks in advance and please boost this toot so I can get many different opinions.
