Maybe just a case of: This thing is bad, but all the alternatives are not any better
I've been using Thunderbird almost as long as it has been available. Still using it. Every once in a while I attempt to look at alternatives. For the most part, Thunderbird works for me and I have strongly recommended it in the past.

Une association récupère mon adresse #email et l'inscrit sans mon consentement sur sa liste de diffusion.
Je leur écris une dizaine de fois pour savoir comment elle a récupéré mon adresse et s'est assurée de mon consentement. Aucune réponse.
Au bout de quatre mois je dépose une plainte auprès de la #CNIL.
L'association finit par me répondre… sans me donner aucune des informations demandées, et me demande de cesser de leur écrire.
Ce retournement de situation de faux culs… 🥲
Interesting read. I have been decoupling from Google, and Proton has the throwaway email addresses I haven't tried. Yet.
So do other email providers.
Worth looking into.
As someone in infosec, how do you handle your personal email?
I got tired of Gmail reading everything, so I built a self-hosted
alternative with:
- X25519 + AES-256-GCM encryption
- Postfix/Dovecot on a French VPS
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC + fail2ban
- An AI cockpit that classifies urgent vs noise
Curious what setups other infosec people use. ProtonMail?
Self-hosted? Something else?

Ich bin gerade dabei auf #Linux umzusteigen, und habe mir meinen eigenen Home Server eingerichtet. Jetzt kann ich endlich meine Fotos in der privaten Cloud mit #immich katalogisieren. Aber eine Sache, die mir richtig gute gefällt und die ich nicht auf dem Schirm hatte, ist die Möglichkeit ein lokales #AI Modell für Suche nach Bildern zu nutzen. Es macht echt Spaß mit Texteingabe Bilder zu finden, die ich vergessen (oder verdrängt) hatte.
Und jetzt frage ich mich, ginge sowas nicht auch mit #Email? Ich habe mal nach #Thunderbird plugins gesucht, und da gibt es welche mit #ollama Support - aber nur für Schreiben, Übersetzen und Zusammenfassen einzelner Emails. Da kann ich sie auch gleich selber alle durchlesen... Ich will "Sitzung bei XY mit Thema ABC" eingeben können und Treffer erhalten, die diese bestimmten Wörter nicht direkt benutzen - und das alles mit voller Kontrolle über die digitale #Privatsphäre. Das wäre mal wirklich hilfreich
Two nights ago my spouse told me that she had spent hours explaining to our elder spawn how to see and then decode SMTP headers.
Me: "He's never looked for himself? We have failed as parents."
So I will talk with the younger spawn about that. Can't have people growing up ignorant.

Last time I ran into some GitHub CI BS? It seemed to resolve itself (maybe some other MacPorts person kicked something? I dunno). Anyway, hopefully something similar will happen there.
Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

@hcf that's just wrong and you know that.
- If this was the case they'd not facilitate any #eMail whatsoever!
- They do it to facilitate a #toxic #LockIn at the cost of #interoperability!
For example, if "#Security" was a real issue, they'd host their #IMAP+#SMTP access *exclusively over @torproject / #Tor because #OnionServices are using fully-encrypted connections in a self-authenticating adress spaces.
- They don't because that isn't the issue, and I'm not talking about the Server-to-Server - Connectivity, which is INHERENTLY AND UNFIXABLE INSECURE WITH EVERY EMAIL PROVIDER unless they don't allow actual cross-provider eMails (or restrict it to very few, selected competitiors with spechally negotiated connectivity [i.e. #VPN|s], which to my knowledge NONE of the commercial providers do)…
I had a client just deliver a big directive: "Get me a written step by step plan to get us off of #gmail and I want to move all of our workstations to #Linux. "
We are six months into my plan for moving away from #cart and #cloudflare and #google on the website, now #email and #Windows are on he chopping block.
#3DS is the biggest stumbling block
The closer I get to #selfhosting my own #email, the more I'm finding myself unsubscribing and blocking emails coming into my personal inbox.
@NebulaTide @wesdym it's NOT #E2EE if you don't have 100% #SelfCustody of all the keys!
- Not your keys = not your control!
Otherwise we'd allow #MarketingLies like like those of #WhatsApp to be normalized, when clearly it's not the case!
- If #ProtonMail was actually E2EE they'd have no keys whatsoever and be unable to provide any data access.
In one year, the dependence on #Microsoft #email among municipalities in the #Netherlands has increased from 60% to 73%.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester
A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.

Blue Sky
I've heard a lot about blue sky I haven't tried to go in yet until a couple, make that 40 minutes ago
Confirmed
blue sky is horrific
on mobile
- the perspective I'm talking about is the captcha
- it's unbelievable that it will be easier for a large language model to create an account on Blue Sky while someone belongs to the species of homo sapiens cannot get past their stupid captcha
- they have a technical problem where the results do not reach the server
- absolutely true blue sky is bad
- it's horrific the technology fails when you create a new account from this part of the planet
on desktop
this is on the SBC Pi5
- same failure on captcha (error msg)
- data does reach server
- account can be created
configure on desktop
Ciritical failure on MFA 2FA
- I can't use a 2FA program, but need to rely on a email!
- bsky.app fails really bad
my password is long 64 characters and tokens
- the email 2FA is as weak as the current fascist tyrant in the USA
- the account is vunurable
Blue Sky fails on security!
On the FediVerse consistent MFA 2FA protection is present over the whole sphere
No screencaps! You know why

RE: https://mastodon.social/@adbenitez/116127438180037113
#HotTake: #Email will die eventually, but not before the day there is a replacement working equally well on the distributed way without requiring registering accounts in a silo.
E-mail survives because of the distributed and kinda federated approach of collaborating across domains and scopes and actually being quite resistant and reliable when it comes to getting an e-mail delivered. Plus it's a pretty simple protocol at its core.
Yes, it got issues. But it's quite reliable at its core. And everyone knows how to use it, just as they know how to use a phone.
@bschorr @thunderbird that's the nature of #eMail tho...
With Client->Server->Server->Client approach per design.
Thus besides any artifical delay / interval, IDK what could be done to "unsend" a message.
@bschorr also any decent #eMail client offerd that, most notably @thunderbird, where you can just move a message from "Outbox" to "Drafts"…
Since Delta Chat doesn't require a phone number or an email addressIt is literally using #email as a chat system so not requiring an email is certainly not the case. 😂
Securing access should probably done by adding the password in a password manager and changing the password if a device gets lost.
Friends, is this https://nxdomain.no/~peter/20260224_smtp_blast_to_imaginary_friends.txt what a successful campaign looks like?

Ich wollte rausfinden wie lange ich ernsthaft #rss2email verwendet hatte… aber ich glaube das war wirklich seitdem das Ende für #GoogleReader angekündigt wurde?
Mindestens waren es nachweisbar 10+ Jahre!
Dafür dass ich da nie nennenswert Aufwand reingesteckt habe, war das erstaunlich kosten/nutzen-Faktor! Das Ding lief einfach immer problemlos und leise im Hintergrund.
I had been thinking about the filtering part of #fcli, my #Mastodon to #email bridge as 'similar to #procmail', but today I realised that if I add custom headers to the email messages it produces I can just use procmail itself. By interfacing #Fediverse ideas with email standards I seem to be needing less and less custom code to get a setup which works for me, and making more and more use of decades old open source software, which is actually a pretty great outcome.

📧 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?

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.

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 😀
I guess instead of trying to find and built a permissively licensed version of #uucp (which in the age of #tarballs, TFTP, SFTP, FTPS, and espechally genuine 1 TB microSD cards seems as outdated as doing Telex and 300 baud #telnet instead of using #eMail over #Freifunk) I'd be better off developing a reference implementation of the #"#AirgappedTransferProtocol" and including that in @OS1337's packages…

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.

Meine IT Datenschutz Liste für alle. Februar 2026 !!
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
Fucking #microsoft
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.
And the unhelpful "troubleshooting" link results in a blank page.
Wankers 😡

Subject Failure notice
I am deeply sorry, but I was not able to deliver your mail to the following addresses: [REDACTED]
5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [ 1 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on
our block list (53150). You can also refer your provider to http: //mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting. aspx#errors. [Name=Protocol Filter Agent][AGT=PFA]
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.
Stop posting affiliation links with hashtags #proton and #protonmail please. This is not what hashtags are for. People who subscribed or are searching for them are already aware that Proton Mail exists and most likely they already made their minds about it a while ago.
If you want to convince new people then use something like #outlook or #gmail, or just #email PLEASE 🙏

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
Trying to #degoogle myself. Starting with my email services.
Reasons I want to move away from Google:
- Save money
- Privacy
- Get rid of ugly ads
- Stop feeding the AI monster
- Would like to not host in the USA if possible
- Fuck US Tech Oligarchs!
Currently I have the following:
1) Personal gmail account that I've had for years
2) 1 business account utilizing google workspaces (domain owned by me)
3) Protonmail - personal account plus secondary personal domain email
I don't utilize google workspaces features at all so I want to dump it completely. I have nextcloud for file sharing, etc. Plus it would save me about $22CDN/month.
Options:
1) Upgrade my Proton Mail plan to the "Proton Unlimited" plan for $150CDN/yr. That will give me 3 domains. The thing is that it enables a bunch of add-ons that I use other services for - password manager, VPN, etc. And I'm a Linux guy and they don't support Linux with Proton Drive (properly...there are 3rd party apps on github)
2) Utilize something like Cloudflare email routing to one email account. Challenge with that appears to be issues with "sending as" my company or personal domain.
3) Switch to another service. Been playing with a bunch. My thoughts on some of them.
- Tuta - Seems like a really good service. Can get 3 domains for about $60CDN/yr. What pisses me off is they don't offer email import unless I go to their next plan but its 2 1/2 times the price!
- mailbox.org - In Germany. Looks like nextcloud. ~$50/CDN/yr. Don't understand how many domains they will support for that. Extra features like office, meet, etc
runbox - Norwegian. 10 domains supported for about $70CDN/yr
mailfence - belgium ~$70CDN/yr. 2 custom domains. Also looks like nextcloud
theyxyz.com - Canadian. ~$36/yr per mailbox/domain.
Also looked at fastmail (Australia - 5 eyes) no thanks. Posteo - Couldn't seem option for custom domains. Startmail - ~$83CDN/yr for one domain or ~$117CDN/yr for 'unlimited' domains.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Meine IT Datenschutz Liste für alle 2026 !!
#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. 🔒

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 bestätigt — #Update blockiert #Verschlüsselung in Outlook:
Nutzer von Outlook Classic stoßen derzeit auf ein Problem: Verschlüsselte #EMail's lassen sich unter Umständen nicht öffnen. #Microsoft hat jetzt bestätigt, dass der Fehler mit einer Aktualisierung von Microsoft #Outlook 365 zusammenhängt.«
I hate that most big email servers(Microsoft, Yahoo, Zoho) don't allow emails from slfhosted email servers.

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.

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.
