Well I have done it. I have finished my move to Proton. The final bit was moving my iCloud email over and I just did that. All my emails are now going to my proton account, even my domain email.
So, that makes email and passwords/passkeys that I’ve divorced Apple of. That will probably be it though for the foreseeable future as my family is quite engulfed in the Apple ecosystem for our workflow.
I wonder if it would be possible to configure my #postfix mail server to reject emails from #GMail and #Microsoft (replying they are not accepted because of spying users) 🤔
Is it a good idea? Is there anybody doing that?
I know it will cut me out of many contacts but I really don't want to be targeted by their algorithms.
I have a question about spam. I have been de-Goolefing my life as much as possible. I've shifted my email from gmail to my personal domain email hosted at HostGator. My domain registrar is Hover. I'm using Thunderbird, in plain text mode, on a Linux box. An email, containing no links, sent to a Yahoo address ended up marked as spam. Any thoughts on why? I've never used my domain to send emails, therefore, I assume, it can't be listed in any spam filters as a spamming domain, right? #email
Grosse envie de (re)faire un filtre #sieve pour répondre automatiquement aux gens qui m'envoient des courriels depuis #Gmail que, s'ils s'en tapent de leur propre vie privée, ben c'est pas mon cas.
Et qu'en conséquence, s'ils veulent que je les lise et que je leur réponde, il va falloir qu'ils se servent d'un autre service d'#email.
Conventional Email security tools are far from enough these days, You need to attach some sort of AI/ML processing. I know I personally am targeted with very specific and curated phishing attempts as a content creator several times a month. Avanan so far has caught the majority of these to the tune of 95+% accuracy.
Lots of companies tell me to add their #email address to my safe/trusted senders list. I have never done this. Do I have such a list? How do I add to it? No idea.
In principle, I support the use of #OAuth2 for #IMAP/#SMTP authentication; I just wish it didn't make it so much harder to use my preferred mail clients for corporate #email accounts because each client's OAuth2 app key needs to be approved by the sysadmin.
Currently cranky that I can't use Mutt with a couple of O365 accounts, and wondering if I can do something sneaky like rip OAuth2 keys out of Thunderbird or something.
LOL caught in an endless email chain which resulted when a nonprofit group subscribed dozens of people to an email list (without asking permission, opted them in) and their "unsubscribe" function doesn't work. Now the admins are spamming everyone on the list in defensive manner. Almost comical, really. 😂 #email#snafu
What email client are people using on desktop these days? Is #Thunderbird still the go? My MS Office subscription gives me access to Outlook but it's terrible for personal use (arguably it's terrible for any use, but it's annoying enough that I don't want to use it even though I'm already paying for it).
I was going to make a joke here about going back to Lotus Notes, but it looks like IBM sold it back in 2019, so it wouldn't even feel nostalgic.
Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of Gmail, Google’s email service that some interpreted as some kind of April Fools’ joke at the time. But it would go on to become a dominant player in the email space. Tech Radar takes a look back at Gmail’s rise that began when we still “demanded a hyphen between ‘e’ and ‘mail.’” https://flip.it/PD4MNI #Tech#Email#Google#Gmail
If someone is CCed in an email you receive, and you respond to that email, it’s common knowledge that you’re supposed to reply all to include the CCed person, right? This is a known thing.
I'd second this. If you're the sort of person who likes mail written to you, rather than the often tangential involvement in receiving a carbon copy of mail to someone else, then you may try to spare others from receiving such carbon copies themselves. Or you might have no strong feelings, and as was already mentioned, your email client's reply button default is just repy-to-sender-only.
