LOL This is funny to see to be honest. As much as I hate to say it, WAY TOO LATE!

Thunderbird email is going pro to better compete with Gmail.

"Senior members of the US National Security Council, including the White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have been accused of using their personal Gmail accounts to exchange sensitive information."

Não sei se é o caso de “desafiar o Gmail”, como diz o título da notícia na Forbes, mas que boa notícia o anúncio de que o Thunderbird lançará um serviço de e-mail, o Thundermail. Precisamos de mais disso!

Bei #GMX gibt es die "Fun-Domains": man kann sich kostenlos bis zu 20 Email-Adressen bei sehr schrägen Domains anlegen (z.B. partyheld.de). Das nutze ich, wenn ich eine eigene anonyme Adresse für eine Webseite haben möchte.

Bei #Posteo fehlt mir sowas: es gibt zwar die Plus-Adressen, aber damit sieht die Webseite trotzdem meine "Basis-Email-Adresse", und könnte die mit anderen Daten verknüpfen.

Kennt ihr einen besseren Weg, um gute anonyme Adressen bei Posteo anzulegen?

Currently testing our new #chatmail server.

WE LOVE IT!

Thanks @delta
It's so simple!

A new project is underway and Chatmail (DeltaChat) will probably be part of it (still testing).

Coming from Matrix, it is a blessing that these options are finally available (see picture)!

This is not an April joke and yes Google offers OpenPGP for Gmail Accounts. This is not difficult to set up but too many people are too lazy in my opinion.

The bird is out of the bag! We're introducing Thunderbird Pro (you already know Appointment!), a set of productivity AND privacy boosting services. And that includes...*drum roll*...an email service we're calling Thundermail. Find all the info in this excellent article:

Finally! Mozilla Thunderbird challenges Gmail with its own email service. And that's just the beginning...

Discovered that Spamdyke's "greylisting" is why the 2FA code emails to my hosting provider's email accounts often arrive so late they expire.

It bounces the first arrival of an email with the assumption that a non-spammy email server will retry.

Turns out this really confuses whatever queues are sending out these 2FA code emails. Sometimes it takes an hour for them to arrive (expired). Disabled it & now I can get into several services I've been locked out of.

Ugg.

In #ChampagneProblems. On a side note I still have a functioning Hotmail (yes, not Outlook, Hotmail). I had an AOL too but it got lost somewhere.

Does anyone Tech-savvy have an email service to recommend? We're trying to degooglify, and would like to avoid proton because of some of their statements as well.
Reasonably priced is ok with us.

[Update: Thanks everyone for all the boosts and suggestions. I'm going to try Mailo as it looks quite good - looks like it will suit me. It's hosted in France, and after further thought, that might actually be better than UK, considering current the political environment - as long as we stay friends with France!]

Got to get off gmail - not comfortable keeping my stuff on a fascist enabling US-based email provider. It's not safe anymore if they will just bend over for anything #TrumpMusk demand.

Any recommends for a non-American owned, preferably UK-based email hosts that don't require your own domain? Happy to have something like cybervegan23812@whateverhost.co.uk. Doesn't have to be webmail, but I'd prefer it.

I know how to host email myself, but I DON'T WANT TO - too much hassle these days, and I also don't want to buy and maintain a domain.

Additionally, NOT protonmail, as we have had family trauma involving them as an accessory to a crime against us. We don't want to be constantly reminded of this.

Please boost for reach.

“Enter your email” is a phrase we see all too often. With so much of the internet now requiring that you hand over your email address before using any services, you can still protect your privacy. @AssociatedPress provides these pointers on the whys and hows of email masking:
