Email is the cockroach of the internet - it outlives every wave trying to kill it. Forget Slack, forget Discord, forget chat apps. Email is universal, decentralized, and asynchronous. It's not sexy, but it's the ultimate survivor.
@Daojoan It's always funny when someone says "This app eliminates email" or "you don't have to use email after this"... But, why? I love email!
@rolle @Daojoan Email just works.

@WTL

Only if you use one of the allowed big email services. Set up your own and you might be secretly black holed and your emails will randomly not reach the intended recipients.

... and not just self hosters: ProtonMail has had to fight Microsoft and Google on this for years.

(Looks like the hotel me and my son are traveling to in three weeks haven't received photocopies of our documentation either through Booking's internal email system or to their Gmail. I'm sending through ProtonMail, and my _guess_ is that it's due to the large size of the attachments. No errors returned ...)

It's never random. Someone has a log entry somewhere. Ask ProntoMail for theirs.

@philleu

No, when you get blackholed by Microsoft and Google there's _no_ indication that your email has not been accepted.

@troed @philleu @rolle @Daojoan I have a (rarely-used) Proton Mail account, and have do not recall ever having issues emailing Gmail or MS account, but I’ll certainly test it.

If you’re sending something over the file size limit, you should get an error notification, but not always (some servers just silently fail, which is annoying).
