📧 What if email services had limits BY DESIGN?
Not to upsell you.
Not to force you to pay.
But to make you more intentional.
message.casa was created for this purpose!
✉️ Email:
• 128 MB storage (not 15 GB bloat)
• 64 emails/hour (no spam machines)
• 8 MB attachments (no bloat)
• Unlimited aliases (privacy++)
💬 XMPP messaging:
• 8-day history (live in the present)
• 256 contacts max (meaningful connections)
• 16-person group chats (human-scale)
🔒 Privacy-first:
• No personal data for signup
• Encrypted storage (LUKS)
• No tracking, no ads
• TLS required
The philosophy: Constraints foster creativity.
Limited storage = delete what doesn't matter.
Small groups = actual conversations.
Short history = be present.
This is email/chat for the SmolWeb era.
Try it: https://message.casa/
Do limits make you more intentional?
I think the next part of my project HAS to be email. I want to start using the new identiy I am building through my domain. Does anyone know a good server to test against? #homelab #selfhosting #email
What's the easiest and best way to get off Google and transition to another email client? My biggest concern is the amount of accounts I've opened using a Google email account.
Your emails can be a pipeline to the adtech industry.
Gmail delivers targeted advertising and scans emails to power “smart features” in the name of personalising your experience.

Text: 'communicate securely - email
If you can afford it, pay for an email provider like Proton Mail, rather than using providers like Gmail, Yahoo or Microsoft Outlook.'

Email didn’t disappear. It was repositioned.
For many, it’s just receipts and notifications. For others, it remains a disciplined space for serious communication.
I’ve written about why I think email is still a craft — even if we pretend it isn’t.

Last month, I made a review about #typewire a canadian #privacy focused #email provider. #canada
When I made my review, there were a few bugs and quirks about the webmail. That's perfectly normal, it's a new company.
Today, Typewire sent me a message telling me that they fixed the issues that I pointed out in that video.
I tested a bit, and so far, it looks indeed much better.
We have two new blog posts for your weekend reading! Our Thunderbird Development Digest keeps you updated on our continuing work to polish Exchange email support and the Account Hub, as well as our refresh of the Calendar UI:
#Thunderbird #OpenSource #Email
https://blog.thunderbird.net/2026/02/thunderbird-monthly-development-digest-february-2026/
That was oddly satisfying. Been through my #Email accounts and had a delete-fest, including about 6 or 7 thousand from Gmail going back to 2007!
Checking through each page to spot and save anything still useful (about a couple of dozen) brought memories of trips away, things and services purchased that no longer exist, relationships ditto, work stuff and the escape therefrom, and a few people who are now late (in the Hitchhiker's Guide sense).
And it's recovered er... 4% of my storage space 😀

Endlich! Mit etwa einem halben Jahr Verspätung habe ich eine aktualisierte Mailserveranleitung für Debian Trixie veröffentlicht.
War wieder eine Mords Arbeit und ich hoffe, es hilft dem ein oder anderen :) Getestet ist es natürlich auch, allerdings derzeit nur partiell. Also nicht von Grund auf, sondern nur die Deltas zur alten Anleitung. Bei Gelegenheit teste ich auch nochmal vollständig "from scratch".
Mutige dürfen sie also gerne schon ausprobieren :)

I don`t remember who was a hero that told me (ok, not me, just shared info about that service) about Purelymail.com but it is great.
It is just PURE eMail service.
No bullshit
No ads
No AI etc
Just simple "you pay 10 euro, you have mail".
I have connected bunch of my domains with simple Catch-all@domain -> myAddress @ purelymail.com
and I dont have to think about shit. It works.
#purelymail #email
I didn't know that according to RFC 5322, emails, when transmitted, are supposed to have lines no longer than 78 characters. The absolute permitted maximum being 998 characters.
They are also supposed to be "displayed as transmitted" including line breaks and all. That's obviously silly in today's world. If mobile devices adhered to this standard, text in emails would be tiny, or we would be scrolling side to side all the time.
While doing that, I also learnt about RFC 2646 and the `text/plain; format=flowed` attribute. It allows the receiver's mail client to reformat the RFC-mandated 80 character line breaks in your message. This is useful on mobile devices. It also causes quotes to display as nested blocks instead of repeating angle brackets.
I have set up my Thunderbird to use plain text and "interleaved, quote under" style, which is also what the Linux Kernel recommends. By default, it doesn't quote at all. I'm sick of throwing huge chunks of HTML back and forth where any long conversation grows into a formatting mess.
Why don't you hear about Perl in the headlines? Because it works. And keeps working. Sometimes the best technology is the most boring.

I believe @mailbox_org could be so much better if they'd ditch static app passwords with limited entropy in favor of modern Oauth standards.
This feature request nails it but it hasn't gotten a response in a year: https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/2546-feature-request-oauth-2-authentication-in-imapsmtp
It would strengthen the security design and make Mailbox.org #email services an even more attractive option for those prioritizing data privacy and European data residency as alternatives to US big-tech.

I didn't get a bounce at the weekend when I sent an email to the same address, and I've sent about 3 mails since then, not one of them to a microsoft system.

I am deeply sorry, but I was not able to deliver your mail to the following addresses: [REDACTED]

It would be nice if the registration emails you sent did not contain tracking URLs. I wanted to share with someone the URL for signing up that I got with my registration email. I copy the URL and paste it, only to find that it is corrupted with tracking. I had to go back and select the text to avoid copying the tracking URL.
I shouldn't have to do this.

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!

Console output, showing FreeBSD Jails, running E-Mail related services.
The #email address is one of the most important services you have: It is not only used for communication, but as part of the login credential for nearly all other services it also serves as your digital identity and backup for most of your accounts (e.g. when you need to reset your password, etc.). That makes it your most important hub for all digital services, and becomes a detailed profile of your digital life in itself.
It therefore needs to be #secure - but also respect your #privacy. And it should be #reliable and support your #souvereignity.
The most used email provider #Gmail by #Google might be secure, but most definately neither respects your privacy, nor your #souvereignity as it is one of the #US #BigTech companies that would delete your account if their fascist leader wills it (plus Google's #SundarPichai and #SergeyBrin are openly supporting him).
Time to switch to an #EuropeanAlternative - after some reserach and evaluating the three biggest contenders, I chose to go with @mailbox_org. It'll cost you at least 1€/month, but this money ensures that they won't try to cover their costs by selling your data.
As a bonus, #mailbox_org also provides other services you know from Google, like Calendar, Contacts, Drive, Documents (Text, Tables and Presentations), Chat and Webcam Meetings, Polls and Shared Notes. There's a private and a corporate option, as well as a family option (that I have yet to explore - not quite sure how it works and what benefit it brings). But most importantly, it's #German company following #EU laws, has multiple certifications and simplifies the usage of #GPG for non-techi users, while giving techis the freedom they desire.
Switching one's email is a tedious endeavour - but I believe that this is the most important service to migrating. If there is only one service you want to migrate, let it be the one that gives you access to all other services - or practically cuts you off, if someone else gains access to it!

Whelp, FastMail has raised their prices and has been bought by some other corporation; I expect enshittification.
Any recommendations for good, secure #email SMTP/IMAP3 providers? Not Protonmail please.
#Email management, especially for #privacy/#tech minded people, can be a very personal thing. I’ve been refining my email setup over the last couple of years and I think I’ve landed on a system that works well for me. I’m curious how others handle it.
My setup involves three separate email providers, #posteo.de, #tuta.com, and #riseup.net. I also use a custom domain combined with a paid #anonaddy (now just #addy) account.
Tuta is for strictly personal stuff like banking, medical, and government accounts. Secure, no aliases, separate app, fully contained.
For Posteo and Riseup, I use AnonAddy aliases for everything else. Mail forwarded from Addy is encrypted with my PGP keys and decrypted client-side, and both Posteo and Riseup use server-side encryption.
Posteo is for things I actually care about, online accounts, family, friends, etc. Riseup is for online shopping, newsletters, and more disposable accounts (zero inbox).
I’ll admit it’s a bit convoluted, but it makes sense to me and has worked well so far. I’ve considered simplifying it, and maybe I will one day. I don’t need three providers, but I like keeping things isolated.
In 2025, the German #BSI launched the Year of #Email #Security recommending Tuta Mail.🇩🇪 ❤️
In 2026, we call for a year on end-to-end encryption in email - so they stop recommending Gmail & Co as well. 🔒

ChatGPT ZombieAgent Exploit Enables Persistent Data Theft
https://www.webpronews.com/chatgpt-zombieagent-exploit-enables-persistent-data-theft/
#ChatGPT #DataTheft #PromptInjection #ConnectedServices #Email #Calendar #CodeSnippets
You're right, this is weird and I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I was able to get it to fail with some combinations, pass with others, and thought I had it figured out until I tried some other cases and those contradicted what I thought I'd established.
As to what's going on - I have a guess, but I'm not confident about it. I think it might be triggering only when an #rfc2047 -encoded segment of the header field value either exceeds the message's policy's line length limit, or in some way crosses over that boundary (such as having leading unencoded ASCII without a whitespace break that would allow the line to fold before the encoded segment).
If this is the case, it looks like a bug to me, too. If it's still happening with the most recent version of Python, I'd say it needs fixing. I haven't tried anything past 3.11.x right now.
Only showing up using the EmailMessage class vs Message class is explainable; there are slight differences, and one is for legacy code compatibility.
Weird.
#Python #email #EmailModule #EmailMessage #encoding #encoded
Does anyone know the right way to create an #email header containing a colon with the email package from the #Python standard library? If I just give it a string containing one I think it confuses it with the field name delimiter and attempts to fold the header in an invalid way, which results in an exception from a later validation stage.
I'm not even sure what's supposed to happen here. Are unescaped colons permitted in the values of email headers, and therefore there's a bug in the folding algorithm, or do they need to be escaped somehow? If so, are escaped words the right way to do it? I'd imagine that having a colon in an email subjet came up before the advent of MIME.
Das wievielste Argument ist es um M$ so wie deren E-Mail Client nicht zu nutzen?!?? Ach ja, niemensch hat ja was zu verbergen!1!!

Microsoft Outlook problems: how to export all emails? [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
A colleague is stuck with a time bomb: the outlook account will close at the end of the month, and emails are only sync locally for the last 180 days.
But, the "File - Export" menu command is greyed out. The right-click and "forward" is also greyed out when selecting more than 3 or 4 emails.
Available is the account either online on a browser, or also on a MacOS desktop.
Is there any way to export all emails as an .mbox or as individual .eml files? Or to forward them all?
At the moment, all we could do is search month by month, select all for the month, and print to PDF. Generates ~50 MB PDF files without images and without attachments, but it's better than nothing.
#MicrosoftOutlook #Outlook #ExportEmailsFromOutlook #Microsoft #email
Also related to the declining development of email clients, I believe it is this current obsession with synchronous instant messaging that is a menace to mental health.
I once heard a colleague in the university's IT department telling another that he thinks people who use anything other than Gmail in a browser are dumb. I think the opposite!
For a long time, I've been using — a slightly better fork lately,
— due to the lack of a proper replacement. What I would miss most is its unified inbox, and its calendar integration, which works despite being somewhat clumsy.
@parismarx I mean, there's @european_alternatives and @alternativeto that do also have extensive tools to find #alternatives...
- Personally, I can vouch for @monocles when it comes to #eMail, #Cloud #FileHosting, #Messaging. Another Option from the #EU is @Stuxhost ...
@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. See also https://chaos.social/@delta/115796626066185436
AodeRelay boostedRelax 😎! GPG is not OpenPGP!
Yesterday, vulnerabilities were published https://gpg.fail but they don't affect #deltachat or other #chatmail clients because
A) We never used #gnupg for anything; we use the modern #rustlang #openpgp implementation @rpgp, security audited multiple times.
B) #openpgp is fine, as modernized in #RFC9580, which already warns against several #gpgfail issues (gpg didn't implement that spec)
Please spread the word that #gpg is not #openpgp ... Thanks! #39c3
Starting January 2026, If you use Gmail to check and fetch external email accounts, fetching emails from third-party accounts into your Gmail account, with POP, will no longer be supported.
You will need to migrate your email data into a Google Workspace account. At some point, the option to "Check mail from other accounts" will no longer be available in Gmail
You can continue to read and send emails from your other accounts in the Gmail app for Android, iPhone, and iPad, which uses a standard IMAP connection #Google #Email #Gmail

Learn about upcoming changes to Gmailify & POP in Gmail
Starting January 2026, Gmail will no longer provide support for the following features:
Gmailify: This feature allows you to get special features like spam protection or inbox organization applied to your third-party email account. Learn more about Gmailify.
Check mail from other accounts: Fetching emails from third-party accounts into your Gmail account, with POP, will no longer be supported.
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.

One of Sweden's oldest and biggest ISPs is apparently getting out of the personal email business.
So my Ubuntu guy will lose his very old email account.
I guess their AI investment did not pay off?

The mailop list, a list for e-mail operators, have been blocked by Microsoft, and its operators have no way to contact MS about it.
It couldn't get more ironic than that.

@dan_nanni (for future readers: this table is wrong, #DeltaChat doesn't require phone numbers or #email for registration can be used anonymously without providing any data at all, for #telegram encryption is not supported in groups at all, only in 1-to-1 chats using the "secrets chat" which don't even sync across devices so is highly impractical and not much used by people in the end)
Microsoft rush to add AI to everything they have failed or ignored making existing products better.
As I am forced to use #O365 here is my wish list for enhancements.
1. The ability to schedule a follow up meeting from an existing meeting in Calendar without having to recreate the whole invite from scratch.
2. Add notes to emails. We have a shared mailbox and I would love the ability to add notes to a email for my colleagues or keep a note on the email for later reference.
3. Outlook client that has ZERO problems updating messages. My inbox is not even that full and the client hangs when updating folders and messages. It is the bane of my existence.
Proton Mail plus (what I had and was happy with): 3.99€/month (12 year subs). The calendar just works as intended.
Fastmail: 5€ a month for 12 month. 5 USD if in the states, which I'm conveniently inside whenever suits me (the perks of multi-currency accounts) works with every email client. Maximum compatibility with everything.
Migadu 9 uSD a month. Seems rather bare. No thanks.
Mailbox.org. Landing page very chatgtp-genrated looking like (at least it has the whole Bootstrap BASIC landing page layout). Decent price 3€ a month. Germany based is a plus. IMAP works.
🤔
Mailbox seems the closer to what I desire.
Can anybody tell me if FASTMAIL has IMAP compatibility?
I just want off Tuta. If fastmail doesn't have that I rather go back to Proton

Screen capture of a list of spam emails. Most have SpamAssassin's "*****SPAM*****" subject followed by either "Let's start getting to know each other." or some academic-spam title about editorial boards or journals.

> My question is rather: How can #XMPP market itself better to people who want to build instant messaging solutions.
my humble opinion: I would still pick #deltachat / chatmail core to build my client if I had to start from scratch today, with #xmpp I just have a protocol, with delta chat I don't actually need to use the #email protocol at all, only the core library that takes care of dealing with networking and #encryption while all I have to do is to create the UI
This #email is so email, its attachment has an attachment.
(It is possible to send someone an email with another email message attached to it. That other email message can, itself, have attachments. I don't believe there is any limit on how deeply attachments can be nested.)
Dear Friends
I hate selfhosting e-mail but ... Ive done it for such a long time.
Do you know any CHEAP option to have a simple service that will handle my usage:
- My domains are targetted onto their service
- Service receives all mails (or maybe have it own grey lists)
I can somehow access that mails (web? email client? ssh? ftp? whatever)
I DO NOT need sending mails from these domains

@simonzerafa @pubby At least having a regular-ass #hoster that just needs #SPF & #MX records set for #eMail to work (aka. #ManagedMail / #managedHosting) is obviously the way to go.

»Proton verlässt die Schweiz—CEO warnt vor Überwachungsstaat:
Proton verlässt die Schweiz - CEO Andy Yen rechnet mit der VÜPF ab und warnt vor Massenüberwachung und Hintertüren.«
Ich bin sehr kritisch gegenüber Proton, da die sich um einiges sicherer geben als sie wirklich sind aber dass die kritisch gegenüber der CH-Politik sind ergibt sehr wohl nachvollziehbare Sinnhaftigkeit.

This phishing email got a laugh out of me. It looked legit. It claimed to be from Intuit: “QuickBooks Payment” and “Transaction failed.”
But, when something doesn’t seem right, investigate the email’s header information.
First problem: it didn’t pass the SPF check (Sender Policy Framework): “IP address redacted] is not allowed to send mail from intuit (dot) com.”
The second problem, though, is the part that made me laugh. The logo? The QuickBooks logo in the email came from... Wikipedia’s image repository, Wikimedia Commons.
I just don’t think Intuit does that.

Building a private internet together: #Tuta & #Notesnook partnership
According to a new study by Proton, nearly 80% of holiday related marketing emails contain hidden tracking pixels that collect your location, device details, and even how long you have the email open.👀
This week on the @sharedsecurity Podcast we discuss how these trackers work, and how to block them!

🤔 Understanding email encryption isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Email can be encrypted in several ways and at various stages — each protecting against specific threats.
We break down what really matters, the trade-offs involved, and how to choose the right balance for your privacy and security — including where encryption helps, and where it falls short. #fastmail #EmailSecurity #PrivacySecurity #Email

Understanding email encryption
BSI checkt E-Mail-Programme
Das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik hat getestet, wie sicher E-Mail-Programme sind. Die sind offenbar ok.
@whitequark @kbruen I had the opposite experience than @jak2k has and was able to quickly onboard "#TechIlliterates" very quickly with @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim but then again: Different requirements necessitate different tools…
- #PGP/MIME like with @delta / #deltaChat has the advantage that it doesn't require it's own #Server infra and since it's just #eMail can also piggyback on #archival solutions, something that @zulip / #Zulip demands a commercial subscription for.
And if your chat aims towards the #public than #IRC (quasi-synchronous) and may just be the better option...
AI power usage [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
@anthropy @noelamac@spore.social The Problemvis that the extreme buildouts for #Bubbles like "#AI" and #Shitcoin-based #Cryptocurrencies are neither #sustainable nor acceptable.
- Compared to those, your average #eMail / #Web / #VPS-hosting is extremely effcient due to their competitiveness and power being the prime cost factor.
Whereas noone I've heard of who isn't invested in the #AIbubble sees the "AI"-based #Enshittification as something else but #WastefulComputing and a net negative to the world overall.

😲 OMG! #Apple released the Mail Drop feature back in 2014, and I had no idea! If you use Apple Mail app with an #iCloud account and Mail Drop enabled, it lets you attach files up to 5 GB via iCloud, even from a non iCloud #email address. It embeds links in your message, and the files are encrypted and stored for 30 days. It doesn't count against your iCloud storage, and even works for free iCloud users. I have been sending large files through Dropbox all this time! https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/send-large-attachments-mlhle695333c/mac
I turned off "smart features" (aka #AI) in my gmail account. Doing that means instead of parsing the inbox into Primary, Social, and Promotions, it's now all one big inbox.
Now, I spend time each day Unsubscribing from email lists I'm on. Also unsubscribing to most substacks.
I had no idea how bad it was, as I generally avoided the Social and Promotions folders. There's a lot of junk email in this world, and I seem to have opted into most of it.
