Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Man i had to go with proton mail again this year. Like you i had a 2year sub that expired but none of the other offers were as good or equally problematic so i went with one more year at Proton. i feel like i should start my own email service “with blackjack, and hookers!”
I have no desire to run my own email, I’ve had enough trouble just sending email via a third party service. Proton support were really good, helping me troubleshoot what turned out to be sort of my problem (sending was getting routed through my VPN). I was actually surprised they told me the reason my emails were blocked (blacklisted IP).
Tuta has been an interesting experience. The apps feel weird, the website doesn’t have a button to achive emails (the app has a swipe action), and they don’t have a function to auto-forward emails to another address (though I have my own domain, some addresses at this domain I normally have set up to forward to my wife who has a normie email). Their email import is also a top tier premium feature, not available on the free or even standard paid level plan. I have no idea why they would make it hard to move to Tuta.
I also want to integrate with Paperless which I can do with Proton via their bridge but Tuta doesn’t provide a bridge for this.
I keep finding reasons not to stick with it 🙁
