Everything is better ;-)

i.e. mailbox.org, posteo.de; there are also protonmail and tuta.com, but they don't have IMAP

I use mailbox.org, my 2 points for it were:

  • it has IMAP support, so I can use whatever client I like
  • for "normal" people it doesn't sound very strange.

+1 for Mailbox, it also supports your own Domain to use

My problem is the whole change of address thing. Unfortunately google had perfect timing when they offered a decent amount of storage. It was early enough that changing email was no big deal and late enough that soon it would be. I very much don't like this because if google like just went dark all of a sudden it would be a bad day. Yeah I know its unlikely to the xtreme but still. I know privacy people do not like this idea but I really would like the government to run an email where all citizens are guaranteed one. To me this would make it much easier to have an official one and other emails. I don't get why folks are ok with corporations doing it and trust that they will use safeguards but don't trust the government would. The US postal service is a good example. Laws were well made to protect mail to the point where one way of safeguarding things from police searches was to put it in a stamped envelope. Man I wish our current society and government would be doing things like that again.

I use Migadu with my own domain

[-] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago

Can you share more info about it? Why did you choose it, any pros or cons? It's the first time I've heard of it.

[-] randomwords@midwest.social 3 points 10 hours ago

Really liking mailbox.org so far!

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago

You can search lemmy for keyword email, and 99.99% of recommendations will be better than Gmail.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Wait, you can search keywords on Lemmy?

I dunno, I mostly use Jerboa on Android, as far as I know Jerboa can only search for communities, unless I missed something or perhaps need to update Jerboa.

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

Jerboa doesn't have all the features, including searching for keywords. You can choose other app richer in features from here, or use web UI.

Did you miss when its founder sided with Republicans (the current ones, mind you) or are you ok with it?

[-] paequ2@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

purelymail, or if one guy running email by himself makes you feel uncomfortable, migadu

[-] Dropper_Post@lemm.ee 1 points 11 hours ago

Migadu is like two guys running email? 😂 no 2FA support

[-] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

Imap doesnt support 2fa.

IMAP protocol as well email clients do not support second factor authentication for the mailboxes. Even if they did, IMAP connections are made way too often which would make authentication unusable. Imagine needing to enter your TOTP token every few minutes. We could enable 2FA on the webmail, but IMAP/POP/SMTP accesses remain unprotected which beats the purpose. We are working on solution here which will allow sand-boxing a username/password pair to a webmail use only. We do offer so called App-specific passwords via mailbox identities though. These are commonly touted by email providers as 2FA. They are not.
