This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Quiero dejar de usar Thunderbird en el ordenador (LMint), que me aconsejáis para sustituírlo?
Gracias
Born Private: Reserve your child’s first email address with #Proton
Mailbox.org is one of those email providers that doesn’t get talked about as much as Proton Mail or Tuta, but it probably deserves more attention. I tested the service, looked at the trial limits, webmail, encryption options, and overall security posture. My review is here: https://paulobrien.com/mailbox-org-review-2026/
The cost of free #email services like Gmail is not immediately apparent, but it can have significant consequences for individuals and businesses. An average person generates around 2,000 data points per day, which can be used to create detailed profiles and targeted ads. #privacy

#Mail2Shell zero-click attack lets hackers hijack #FreeScout mail servers
Posteo at €1/month is far more serious than the price suggests.
No personal details at signup, strong account controls, IMAP support, and an optional zero-access mailbox mode if you enable it.
I’ve tested it properly and written up a full review:

I'm getting the same spam over and over to a self hosted account. The subject is always the same, the body is pretty short and nearly identical. The only thing that changes are the sending address and the parameters on a long URL at the end of the email.
No matter how many I pass to spamassassin it still never scores more than 3.7
Any ideas?

@mwl #Suggestion Consider some kind of direct #helpdesk #support / #1to1 on Mastodon as THIS is how to really get people doing / building confidence. I admit we're weak at the start and finish and even then solving things can be hard mentally, alone. I used to take people to the gym or park personally as a similar example - I made it easier for first timers (it's the missing togetherness or companionship somehow that blocks things from happening today).
I'm not sure if the easy 1-click 'docker container' style email services recently get around blocks or if has these same problems.
But #email #selfhost I think is needed... and the way to avoid everything else that grows bad problems from google.
I think it's getting better but is their a total working solution ? (not just install and see how it goes until I-reach-the-same-problems-down-the-line?)
Thanks (and if I can post in a better way, like replying to my post, let me know)

@jwildeboer About SELFHOSTED EMAIL
Email is a good idea to solve for ourselves - even as a sentiment or practical / political action - but I need also somewhere I can go when I get stuck which will for sure happen (half-way through maybe) and past just my sentiment phase I'd need to go to the finish with someone.
I think it's getting better... or exists! ? !

it could have been much easier to handle with #ArcaneChat & #DeltaChat
#Microsoft fixes #Outlook bug blocking access to encrypted emails
Anybody knows, at which time (and with which product) the "reading receipt" ("Lesebestätigung") came up for e-mail? Was it with some early Outlook/Exchange version, or in some earlier messaging system? Lotus Notes maybe?
For chat, probably Blackberry was the first to introduce status like "delivered" and "read". But I wonder, when it began for mails. #techhistory #vintagecomputing #technikgeschichte #email
Over 6,000 #SmarterMail servers exposed to automated hijacking attacks
when you are trying to sleep at night and suddenly remember that #ArcaneChat / #DeltaChat are the only piece of software out there that makes it possible easily and for free to have a #decentralized #e2ee #mailinglist #newsletter (called "channels" inside the app) that is portable, doesn't depend on a specific/central #email server and can be easily migrated to a completely different server / address without any visible change or disturbance for your subscribers

What is it with spam at the moment?
I expected an increase in spam in the lead-up to Christmas. However, it hasn't abated in the last month.
My servers are getting floods of spam emails purporting to come from:
Omaha Steaks
Marriott Hotels
AAA
Bluecross (whatever that is)
Walmart
Costco
The spam seems to be mostly targetting US folk. I'm getting them because I have .com and .net domains.
@rl_dane yep you missed the point, it is for ENCRYPTED #email, you are using a public chatmail server without strict rate-limits and open registration, there unencrypted email is not allowed otherwise the service could be abused by spammers
you can use it for unencrypted email if you configure a profile with a classic email server, then you can send/receive unencrypted
that said, the error in that picture just says you did a typo and wrote to the wrong email address
An exchange with Outlook-suffering colleagues reminded me of my 2011 rant which is sadly still relevant, "The Problem Isn't Email, It's Microsoft Exchange" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/the_problem_isnt_email_its_microsoft_exchange.html #email #outlook #exchange #uxfail #standardswhatstandards
I self-host my own e-mail servers for ~25 years now. Just finished he migration to a new system today.
- OS: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
- MTA: Postfix 3.10
- IMAP: Dovecot 2.3
- Filter: Rspamd 3.14
I used Imapsync to migrate the content of my Mailboxes from the old to the new system. Worked absolutely fine.
Having the E-Mail Jail and the mailbox data on an encrypted ZFS dataset (AES256) that's manually unlocked with my passphrase after rebooting the system. Backups are done via ZFS send/recv to by backup server (-w for raw send to ensure, data is encrypted at rest)
- SPF: ✅
- DKIM Signing: ✅
- DMARC Reporting: ✅
- E-Mail delivery to major providers: ✅
- IPv6 working and actually being used: ✅
All working perfectly well. In about a week, I'll decomission the old Debian based system, that I used since 2017!
I haven't followed Thunderbird Pro development super closely, but it *looks* like they've locked in a price. Is this a new detail? At any rate, I'd definitely pay $9/month for a hosted Thunderbird email plan with 30GB of storage, 15 email addresses, and 3 custom domains. (The 300GB of Send Storage also feels fair).
@skippy I have several profiles (family, work, public, plus classic email accounts), for chatting I am using different #chatmail relays across profiles, including my very own chatmail server: https://arcanechat.me
I also have some profiles just for checking and answering classic email including: #disroot, #riseup and #gmail, I don't use any classic email client, I just read the #email inbox in #ArcaneChat as chats, it is so much easier than in a linear inbox

#Microsoft: Classic #Outlook bug prevents opening encrypted emails
@16af93 @soatok why do you say coping?
If in 2026 you make generic claims against the feasibility of using #email and #openpgp for secure decentralized messaging, there hardly is a way around taking a deeper look at RFC9850 and RFC9788 and the minimalist Rust-based approach https://chatmail.at takes. Hammering away at gpg and other crimes of how email-encryption doesnt work well ... frankly does not cut it for making a generic "it can not work" claim.

What do Fedi people think about #Posteo email service? I'm pondering my choices in case of degoogling and finding a good email provider isn't easy.
Here's my criteria:
1) It's an email provider. Not everything-you-never-needed in one ugly unwieldy box and a stupid AI on the side.
2) I don't care about so called privacy and encryption, it's a marketing fad. These services are just huge targets for governmental blocking. So wherever you cool hackers are, I'm staying away. I want to be with common people. I don't want to be a collateral damage.
3) I don't care about Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, etc. Whatever I write on the Internet could be written on the wall, for everything else there is PGP.
4) I care about respectability and stability. So this service has to be in business for at least 10 years and not run by a group of enthusiasts.
5) POP3/IMAP support without restrictions.
So this leaves me with two options: #Fastmail and #Posteo
Fastmail is great, I used it in the past when it was twenty something dollars a year, but now it's too expensive. $5 a month and most features are overkill. 60Gb of space is ten times more than all my working documents combined.
Posteo is cheap and affordable, 2Gb is more than enough. But I don't really know if it's good and reliable.
Other sane alternatives are welcome, of course.

Se supone que Google permitirá ahora cambiar la dirección de vuestro Gmail principal. No veo que sea mucho cambio a crear una cuenta nueva, pero sí puede servir a quienes lleven muchos años con la misma dirección y deseen comenzar a hacer algo de limpieza.
Para los que sepáis de seguridad informática:
En su día instalé en mi servidor de correo las firmas SPF y DKIM, pero seguía recibiendo falsos mensajes como enviados por usuarios de mi servidor (para redactar/enviar un correo de mi servidor a otro hay que autenticarse, pero no se estaba pidiendo autenticación para enviar correo desde mi servidor a mi servidor).
Finalmente, esta primavera instalé DMARC y PTR, y desde entonces el número de mensajes supuestamente enviados desde mi servidor a mí mismo (es decir, que mi servidor ni se molesta en verificar) se han reducido considerablemente.
Sin embargo, todavía recibo algunos mensajes enviados "desde mi servidor", e incluso hay alertas en spambox de mensajes recibidos desde cuentas de mi servidor (cuentas cuyos login aparecen en filtraciones públicas pero que no existen en mi servidor, al menos desde que yo me hice con el dominio hace más de 10 años).
Sospecho que esto se debe a que mi servidor es compartido (mi DNS apunta a svNNN.proveedor.com, donde hay otros servidores de correo y web.)
¿Qué más tengo que hacer para evitar que se sigan enviando mensajes spoofeando mi dominio?
#Google will finally allow you to change your @gmail.com address
@pixelschubsi to be honest even if starting today, I think I would still prefer #email over #xmpp, I don't regret one bit the choice they made, at least so far it is doing its job pretty well, #DeltaChat had proper quote-replies even before threading got introduced to #xmpp because it existed in email since forever, there was an RFC for reactions over email as well long ago, email was made for slow networks even before the web, delta chat is being used even over radio in the Amazon rainforest

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going.
No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

We are not aware of other FOSS development teams that have as extensive knowledge, both theoretical and practical, about #email and #openpgp and regularly release across all platforms for users world wide ... except for #protonmail with whose technical and security experts we discuss regularly. They are the other major game in town doing pervasive email encryption after all. Did you know that Proton's and delta's VCards are compatible across ecosystems and establish immediate encryption?
