Thunderbird launches Thundermail and Pro services to offer an open-source alternative to Gmail and Office365, focused on privacy, freedom, and user control.
The thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.
I have been thinking about it but I wasn’t sure if it would be secure enough. But I will look into it. I have my own domain through a host with a site that has email but it’s for a business I am trying to get going so I don’t want to use that for personal shit.
I will do some research about it. I think I have the skills to set it up I just don’t know how to keep it secured.
Do you run it on a machine at home or do you host it with a provider?
@envoy No additional “analysis” by some random guy on internet can change what the CEO wrote and did. I saw him admire trump. I saw him use company support account for his personal fight. This really needs something a bit stronger than an “analysis” to regain some trust.
I already have tuta and libreoffice
How the uptime with Tuta these days? Was hearing some negative reviews about extended outages a while back.
I want to leave Proton, but I fear for the day I need a 2FA code and I can’t get it.
I, personally, didn’t have any concern so far.
I am trying to outrun evil techbros but it’s impossible…
Self host email, It’s not thaylt hard and its good for everyone to make small email servers a thing again
Follow-up question how much does it cost you?
10-20 a year for a domain name.
dynamic dns from freedns is free
Email server is a free laptop with a broken screen
I set it up with dockermail server in an afternoon. They have good docs, it was easy.

Sure, but if I can dodge one by simply switching email hosts, why not?
What’s wrong with proton?
@envoy CEO is a trumpist
I read that it isn’t as bad as initially thought: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
