I am looking for a reliable mail hosting provider, with 2FA, unlimited aliases (including catch-all * ), POP+SMTP+IMAP, no mobile app required, with configurable domain but not bundled to the provider being the registrar. Possibly based in EU/Switzerland.

Discarded options:
- I am moving away from Gandi.
- Infomaniak seems to require registering domain with them.
- Zoho based in UK.
- MXroute does not seem to offer 2FA.
- Autistici/Inventati only with one of their domains (not configurable).
- Fastmail based in Australia.
- Mailcheap based in USA.

Thankful for any suggestions

Ok, so the de-Googleification project is moving forward. I moved my main email handling from #Google to #Fastmail. My calendar is now handled on my #Nextcloud instance.

I've tossed the Google Calendar app overboard on my phone. (I've disabled it. It cannot be deleted... yet...)

On my phone, I now use Fossily Calendar and jtx Board together with DAVx5 and ICSx5.

I'm still figuring how I'm going to handle my contacts.

I'm on my way to full #degoogle ops... I've started a trial of #fastmail (fastmail.com), and am hoping to fully transition my domain over for email/ calendar in the next month.

Now I'm trying to find a general #email replacement. I think I've narrowed it down to @fastmail and @mailbox_org. I also like @startmail but it has no calendar.

#Fastmail seems to just work well and has practically unlimited aliases accounts. But MB seems more committed to #privacy / data protection, has online office, and is about half the price per month of the other. Both have some cloud storage, which is a plus.

I'm not really sure which one to go with. Any thoughts?

Z jakiego powodu #fastmail na rok dla Polaka kosztuje 300zl a dla Niemca 60 Euro. Jakieś 17% więcej. Ryzyko walutowe czy co... Jeżeli wszystko by u nas po przejściu na euro było o prawie 1/5 tańsze to sam już bym opony na ulicach palił.
Oczywiście że zapłaciłem w euro

So.. I'm beginning the port AWAY from #Google domains hosted email now!

This #DEI statement is the last straw!

Is #FastMail the one to port your domain(s) to?

Does anyone know of a better email hosting company? (I have 4 or 5 domains to move and want to make sure I can 'port all the current emails in my family's inboxes as well. I want to make this as seamless as possible).

Thanks!

@lisamelton, can you boost for reach please?

Ce midi, j'ai eu un mail d'extorsion sur l'adresse que j'ai utilisé pour m'inscrire au site CrashPad Series (si tu sais, tu sais ) pour me menacer de tout un tas de choses honteuses si je n'envoyais pas 1.400$ en bitcoin à tel portefeuille.

Dans le mail, en clair, il y a le mot de passe que j'utilisais pour me connecter à Crashpad Series jusqu'à début janvier 2024. (Je l'avais changé à ce moment pour une raison qui est la chose la plus moche que j'ai pu faire en mon âme et conscience de ma vie, et pour laquelle je suis pas déso le moins du monde, mais c'est une autre histoire que je raconterai peut-être ici en pouet privé )

Ça veut dire qu'à un moment, entre 2022 et janvier 2024, quelqu'un a eu accès à la base de donnée de ce site et possède maintenant les mots de passe en clair associés à une adresse mail de connexion. Et soit les propriétaires du site n'ont rien vu, soit iels n'ont rien dit.

Toujours est-il que moi, personnellement, ça ne m'inquiète pas, parce que j'ai un gestionnaire robuste de mots de passe (Bitwarden) et un fournisseur mail capable de me donner un alias mail aléatoire en un seul clic (Fastmail) et qu'en plus les deux sont interfacés. Donc chaque fois que je m'inscris quelque part, c'est avec une nouvelle adresse mail utilisée nulle part ailleurs et un mot de passe tellement long et compliqué que c'est impossible de le retenir, encore moins de le réutiliser.

Mais par contre, il y a pleiiiin de gens qui doivent être sacrément dans la mouise avec une telle faille pour peu que leur mot de passe et leur adresse Crashpad soit la même que... leur fournisseur mail, ou leur compte steam, etc.

Bref, prenez le temps de vous renseigner sur les gestionnaires de mot de passe. Utilisez Bitwarden si vous voulez le meilleur qui se synchronise tout seul en ligne avec des extensions et des applis mobiles (et pour lequel les données n'ont jamais fuitées, mais qui reste un risque que vous voudriez ne pas prendre) ou bidouillez-vous une synchronisation artisanale avec KeepassXC et Syncthings si vous voulez pas que vos mots de passe soient sur le cloud. Mais prenez le temps d'apprendre à sécuriser vos comptes en ligne.

#ProtonMail doesn't support grabbing your email via IMAP from another service (there is a desktop gateway for paid users).

They do have an export tool (https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-export-tool) but it spits out a bunch of .eml files with JSON metadata.

I wrote a quick script to convert such an export into a classic mbox file, which should be suitable for importing into, say, #Fastmail

Anyway, the script is here:

(I wrote the script in like 5 minutes, don't judge me.)

Gmail workspace - which I pay for - just added their AI crap to my account without the possibility of opting out. This is the last straw for me (I know, I'm a very patient person).

So - #protonmail or #fastmail or some other option?

I need email, calendar and custom domain management.

I'm at #Fastmail which I can recommend. However, if I had to chose again, I would go for mailbox.org. You know, just in case you want to ditch #ProtonMail.

https://mailbox.org/en/

I share this from time to time not to spam people by any means but rather because I choose to use this service and support it with the power of my purchasing dollars. I first got the 30 day free trial. by the 10th day I subscribed for one year. By day 30 I subscribed for 3 years the longest their subscription runs because I was so pleased with the service. Its web interface is #Accessible for doing administrative things and setting up rules server side. It also works well in third party clients such as #Outlook, #Thunderbird and the native mail app on #iOS. So if anyone's interested in #Fastmail feel free to visit: https://join.fastmail.com/998bc1c3

I've decided to get a paid private email account since Google decided to terminate my account with no warning and provides zero help in recovering it. The popular choices seem to be Fastmail and Protonmail. Which one should I get?

I want to look into #degoogleing my #email.

Does anyone have opinions on #protonmail vs #fastmail?

Ty!
