If you are trying to #degoogle your life, be aware that one of the unpleasant side effects is that a shit ton of people will not be able to receive #email from you. I've been on an email address handled by my shared server provider for like 15 years now, and I can attest that #google and #yahoo are both pretty bad for blocking anything from a #domain outside the big providers.

Here is yet another example as a reminder:
If your bank "contacts you" DO NOTHING until you have phoned your bank to check on the validity of the contact.
@gerrymcgovern I deleted 79,125 'promotional' emails from my Gmail account yesterday.
Didn't think I really needed them.
Didn't think they were useful.
Why do I get so many of these completely useless messages?
Why is so much time and energy expended on these hopeless things that most people completely ignore?
And why should we keep storing them, year after year?

Recommendations for good (and preferably cheapish) own-domain #email providers, anyone? As far as I know the consensus is still that running your own is prohibitively difficult for reputation reasons, but do correct me if I'm wrong.
I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.
I don't know if it's the same in other countries, but in Canada it's the law to have an ‘unsubscribe' link at the bottom of marketing emails. It sure makes it easier to get rid of the spam and to achieve #InboxZero!
Every once in a while I take a day to go through my inbox and click the unsubscribe button.
Glaubt nicht diese Behauptung. SMS ist gleich unsicher wie E-Mail - beides unnötige Risiken, da es gute Alterantiven gibt.
Wenn willhaben tatsächlich daran gelegen wäre, unsere Sicherheit zu verbessern, würden sie effektive und sichere Authentifizierungsverfahren wie #FIDO2 unterstützen anstatt Handynummern abzugreifen.
Mal sehen, wann die meine Handynummer durch Hacks/Leaks verlieren ...
Anybody have recommendations for #email providers? I've been using @mailbox_org since 2019 but the service is going downhill. They are outright blocking mail from a number of legit senders, support now takes days to respond and when it does it's not particularly helpful).
Ever since I quit Google I've stopped receiving junk emails, used to come about 10 a day and would end up in promotions folder, or updates, or socials, which google created. Now, I get nothing. Only newsletters, some of which are industry related so I don't mind them. #email#google#webdev
I'm looking for a privacy-focused #email provider with IMAP support. Preferably email-only provider (without calendar or cloud storage integration). No weird spam filtering system, zero-access encryption for data at rest, OpenPGP for encryption, 2FA, custom domain support, no personal info required for signup and accepts payment with cryptocurrency. Plus, it should perform well on the assessment at https://internet.nl/test-mail.
It was 69% complete, right below the threshold. Since then there has been no significant change. If you are a K-9 Mail user and a native Korean speaker, please consider helping out.

It would help a little to use #OpenPGP signatures, but this alone irritates many because they "can't read" the attached file. Why do they call themselves #security-conscious #IT professionals and users? Implementing something like this in a company is really not too much effort. In my opinion, this alone would increase the sender's confidence considerably.

#yahoo#email app on #Android does not always show all folders. Restarting does not help. Very strange and very inconvenient. Is there a good mail app for android you can recommend like thunderbird? #yahoomail#yahooemail#emailapps
