Fedifolks, can you recommend me some respectable email provider? Important: I don't want encrypted email. It have 0 benefits and it's only pain in the ass. It would be sweet if I didn't had to pay for it, too.

Please boost.

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud i use mailbox.org, but it is paid

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@alice@mk.nyaa.place i assume it works nice with aliases (gnome.org email)? That's the reason why I want to switch providers xd

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud it does, yeah

But i mean for aliases even gmail works iirc?

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@alice@mk.nyaa.place gmail yeah, but I don't want to use it

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud fair enough

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud is just that some services are picky and don’t like mailbox, so i use my old gmail address for those. Discord being one such service, and surprisingly - porkbun

@tragivictoria Posteo is like 1 euro a month. German company with a medium-small (no one man army) team, no E2E complicated junk like Tuta or Proton but they do allow (opt-in) encryption at-rest. They are pretty committed to privacy as they annually provide a transparency report of all governmental data requests. They use Roundcube as webmail interface. One drawback: no custom domains.

@alice@mk.nyaa.place i increasingly think technology was a mistake

[byte@awawa.club]

@tragivictoria https://disroot.org?

[alice@mk.nyaa.place]

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud yeah, i mean email frequently has allowlists because of spam

Like i also have an alias for my domain, but like nothing will accept those emails

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@cidra@mastodon.uno does it work well with aliases?

[cidra@mastodon.uno]

@tragivictoria Yes. 2 aliases are free. Every additional alias costs 0.10€/month. Also supports filter addressess (e.g. cidra+newsletters@posteo.it) and its filter control panel is pretty good. It provides many domains (posteo.de, posteo.it, posteo.com, posteo.net ....).

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@alice@mk.nyaa.place worst part is that I don't know much about email

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@byte@awawa.club is it trustworthy? First time I see it tbh

[byte@awawa.club]

@tragivictoria i've been using it without issues for many years, and i haven't heard anything incriminating about them (unlike proton)

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@byte@awawa.club how is it with aliases?

[byte@awawa.club]

@tragivictoria no idea tbh

[sz@catcatnya.com]

@tragivictoria i personally use migadu.com , the plan is set by real use instead of mailbox or domain count

[june@social.nekover.se]

@tragivictoria I’m happy with https://migadu.com and a few of my friends are using it as well. It just does standard mail protocols, has a straightforward subscription and one can/needs to bring ones own domain(s).
