been thinking of getting a non-google email. anyone know a service thats good and that I can try out without fear of it becoming expensive/bad in the future?
I’m changing if it works reliably, has (most of) its codebase open source, and can be trusted to not forward data from my emails to arbitrary buyers. I’d be ok with paying a small fee for it if its really good!
Ideally I’d setup my own email server, but that isn’t a real possibility for me within the near future.
I’ve also realized that gmail is just kind if a mediocre product. The UI is clunky and the integration across account products, e.g. mail to calendar, sucks ass and can’t be easily modified. This has been my experience with most monolith services, but its taken me a while to realize that I don’t need them at all, as long as I can find a replacement host.
Looking for a way to manage a dynamic calendar across devices that isn’t google calendar, too. Maybe that can be done with #obsidian?
@maya Hi! If you need advanced #privacy, @Tutanota might be a solid option → https://tuta.com Just keep in mind that email storage encryption also has some drawbacks in terms of user experience for instance (app lock-in). Moreover, if #security is a matter of serious concern, keep in mind there is no miracle solution - choose and use this wisely.
If you're looking for an easy Gmail/Google Workspace alternative, Infomaniak's kSuite is worth a try → https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite
@maya Otherwise, you can find some other options here → https://mamot.fr/@homlett/114150299064062877
As for the calendar, all decent email providers (except the encrypted ones, for technical reason) will provide CalDAV access to your calendars, allowing you to manage and synchronize them easily from multiple devices.
Finally, consider using your own domain name. This will allow you to switch to any email provider very easily and quickly in the future.
@[email protected] Depends on what you mean by secure, but Tuta → https://tuta.com is a great Proton alternative. Encrypted email storage has its drawbacks though, such as no IMAP/SMTP. Hence, you've got to use their apps. Otherwise, depending on your exact needs, there are other great email providers, such as: – https://www.infomaniak.com/en/ksuite/service-mail – https://disroot.org/en/services/email – https://soverin.com/ – https://nubo.coop/en/ – https://runbox.com/ – https://lacontrevoie.fr/en/services/mail/ – https://www.galae.net/en/
