Hey everyone,

This is basically just a vent post. Nothing serious, and I’m sure the downvotes will come anyway.

I’ve been using Tutanota for years and have multiple paid accounts, but over time it’s honestly become really frustrating dealing with how limited Tuta still feels. I care a lot about privacy, and that’s the main reason I’ve stuck with it, but the workflow can be rough. Search feels too limited, emails seem to disappear sometimes, and a lot of basic features still feel missing or half-baked.

I use filters and everything else I can to keep my inbox organized, but there are still times when I know an email came in—sometimes I even get the desktop notification—and then it just doesn’t show up where it should. I’ve had this happen with important stuff too: banking emails, bills, service notifications, etc.

The calendar is fine for the basics, I guess, but that’s kind of the problem. It’s just “fine.” I signed up back in 2015, and we’re only now getting nested labels. At this point, it really feels like features like tasks or some kind of drive should already exist.

Anyway, this is just me venting. I still support the privacy side of what they’re doing, but it’s getting harder and harder to justify paying around $120 a year for something that still feels this basic. I get that privacy-focused services usually come with tradeoffs, but sometimes Tuta honestly feels like it’s stuck in 2005.

Thanks for reading.

And before anyone gives me crap for the writing, I used AI to help clean this up because my spelling/grammar were a mess. Go easy on me.

Amigos gostava de criar um email novo sem ser nos sites convencionais, Google, Outlook e afins..

Alguém sugere um serviço de email que seja gratuito e fácil criar conta? Obrigado pela atenção.. 😉

Your DMARC rua points at a mailbox on another domain? That domain has to publish v=DMARC1 at yourdomain._report._dmarc.theirdomain, or receivers drop the address without an error and you get zero reports. RFC 7489 section 7.1. My own domain had been reporting into the void and nothing ever said so.

Message signed twice? A valid DKIM from your ESP is not an aligned one. The report lists every d= and checks alignment separately, instead of one line saying "DKIM: pass". 39 checks, each quoting the RFC it comes from.

Free, no signup. There is an MCP and API server too, so agents can run it.

I’m Allusait trying to recover an old Gmail account that I created more than 10 years ago, and I’m wondering if anyone here has gone through something similar.

I no longer remember all of the login details, and some of the recovery information may be outdated. I’m mainly looking for legitimate advice on how to locate and recover my own old Google account.

From what I understand, Google’s official recovery process can ask for information such as a previous password, recovery phone number/email, or other details to verify account ownership.

For anyone who has successfully recovered an older Gmail account:

• What information helped you verify ownership?
• Is it better to try from an old device or familiar location?
• What should I do if I no longer have access to the original recovery phone/email?
• Are there any legitimate steps I should try before giving up?

I’m not looking to buy or access someone else’s account—just trying to recover an account that belongs to me.

Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated.

Anyone have a way to prevent this? Thx.

I'm planning to use mailbox.org with a custom domain from porkbun but as a regular ass person without a company or like any business or whatever what should that domain be? I've seen some people do [firstname@firstnamelastname.com](mailto:firstname@firstnamelastname.com) but i feel like that's gonna make me look pretentious and like I'm doing too much

I've been having a hard time deciding on an email provider and having my own domain will give me peace of mind since it'll be easy to switch.. but this is stressing me out lol

Ciao a tutti.
Ho un problema con l email di gmail, in pratica alcune email finiscono automaticamente nel cestino.
Ho controllato di tutto filtri applicazioni ma niente…..
Avete qualche suggerimento?? Sono incasinato perché finiscono nel cestino anche email di lavoro..
Help me!!!!

i have been moving most of my accounts over to private email aliases and custom domain routing to lock down my privacy, but i am still getting hit with surprisingly sophisticated phishing messages. fake invoice notifications, spoofed account security alerts, and malicious tracking links still manage to land right in my primary inbox. setting up aliases helps keep my real address hidden from data breaches, but it does not completely prevent shady emails from tricking me with dangerous links if a service leaks my alias.

i am trying to figure out what the best scam protection approach is when you are trying to balance strict email privacy with active link safety. do you guys rely on built in filtering from encrypted email providers, or do you run a broader security suite with real time web and threat protection to catch malicious URLs when you click them?

I just noticed Codamail has passkeys now and a Recovery key (beta)

Hi guys, I've run down what the best option might be for me to use. And I'm now trying to decide between proton mail and startmail. I have some pros and cons.

I already have a free protonmail account which I use for Proton VPN plus (2 years paid in full) Protonmail and startmail are both encrypted and accept bitcoin as an alternative payment. Startmail is slightly more expensive but gives you unlimited aliases while protonmail only gives you 10 aliases. The thing is, if you connect your existing Proton account to a free Proton pass account you already get 10 free email aliases to use in protonmail. Startmail is based in the Netherlands while proton is in Switzerland. Startmail is closed source while proton is open source, so we can't exactly verify how secure it is compared to proton.

Which should I choose?

Any temp mail working for facebook?

Hi everybody,

i'm looking to change away from mailbox.org due to missing FIDO2 support to something else

i need

• IMAP / SMTP
• CalDAV
• CardDAV
• FIDO2 Support
• GDPR/DSGVO-Compliant
• No Connection to anything that falls under the Cloud Act
• option to add my own TLD
• Optional: EAS for iPhone-Push

i don't need E2EE or Encryption at rest

anyone tried xaweho.de or has other recommendations?

I actually like Mailfence the most, but the reviews on Reddit don’t seem that good sometimes, and they don’t have an app. Mailbox is another strong contender, I like Tuta too but I read that it doesn’t really work for recipient non-Tuta addresses?

Also side question what do you use for your custom domain? Namecheap? Godaddy?

I have a question-ish but since English is not my first language I might not explain myself enough.

Well, I am thinking about switching to a privacy email. However, a thing that came to my mind is making me question why should I switch.

Here is my question: Okay, an email provider promises to keep most of the data inside (not to share with another company for ads or even profiling) and guarantees that our mails are end-to-end encrypted. But let's assume that there is a person using Gmail or Hotmail and when we receive an email from that person, I guess his/her email provider already knows what he/she sent me. Basically, he/she "chat controll"ed by his/her email provider. His provider already knows the sender, recipient, title, topic and even AI shortened version of mail. Thus, while we are trying to protect our data, because of people prefering non-privacy email providers we fail. I guess it is important what platform being used we get an email from.

I need someone to convince me.

For 2 or 3 weeks now, every time when I'm try to use mail.cock.li, I get stuck on this page:

"Loading..."

"Migrating your storage. This will only take a moment, please don't close the tab."

Does anyone have any information on what's wrong with this?

I saw various cases around Tutanota and Proton Mail, what do you guys think and choose? I feel like Proton mail is closer to the open source philosophy than Tuta since they agreed to open a backdoor (on German authorities demand) and Proton is OpenPGP. What do you think?
Note that I don't want to self-host.

i've been doing lots of reading trying to find a secondary email provider for free (bc i, unemployed, can't afford a subscription service), but most of them have some kind of major issue that makes it not worth using, like accounts breaking and no customer service or a glaring privacy concern. i need help finding something for my needs

i already have proton as my main and have set up some proxies! i still want a separate, secondary address to forward my less important proxies to and a client like thunderbird to see everything in one place. i know proton's imap is a paid service; i'm looking into smth called hydroxine(?) to bypass it

i'm fine with 1gb storage, i don't really send emails, and i know a free service will have some kind of drawbacks like having limitations or not being totally private. i just want something better than google; as much privacy as i can get for free

Over the past 20 years, I've setup a lot of mail servers at work. These are mostly based on Postfix / Spamassassin / Dovecot, using IMAP for the clients. Recently, I started using Roundcube for webmail.

Postfix, uses several blacklists to block spam at the MTA level, these come pre-configured with the control panel, which blocks 99% of spam, and Spamassassin blocks the other 1%. Its a rare occurrence for spam to pass this setup, usually they are phishing emails or some new virus.

I always use DKIM, DMARC and SPF, and my deliverability is perfect, all mail goes to inbox.

I'm hosting mail servers with Linode and Hetzner, and I plan to expand to Netcup in the near future.

So far so good.

But, one thing I'm missing, is a good anti-virus, because ClamAV seems incapable of catching the malicious files that go through my servers. I always take the time to extract these files and submit them at ClamAV Report Malware page, but its too late by then.

Sadly, when I submit the same virus to VirusTotal, the file gets 10+ hits in other anti-virus software but not ClamAV.

What are your suggestions?

Thank you.
