Ah just in time for me to unsubscribe because they've started putting ads in my premium account!

Didn't know disroot had a Lemmy instance, that's nice

I don't see any ads

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You probably don't have a premium account; you have the whatever they call the new premium accounts. The premium accounts are legacy and don't get new features, so you just have those features and don't get advertised them.

There are also the thinly veiled 'news' emails that show up with special CSS flair in your inbox- but it's not news, it just them trying to upsell you stuff and get you hyped about [Latest Product].

I have seen the tuta news... That really did annoy me, I emailed them every time I get one of them asking them not to do it anymore. It should just be a regular email. Not some special fake email.

Your point is valid but both are not the same, Proton has more to offer and is now a non-profit which you can't say that about Tutao GmbH (the company behind Tuta/Tutanota)

Our team created a custom notification solution and managed to implement it in an energy-efficient way, an alternative to Google’s FCM that lets us fully bypass Google’s infrastructure.

FFS, it's a calendar. It has no business connecting anywhere.

What is an option then?

Like?

I personally like Purelymail. Cheap and bullshit-free.

make your own: get a domain (15$ probably less for a year), get 2x tiny servers (around 10-15$ each) and deploy MX and IMAP services on your favorite OS. Takes a while to set it up but it's pretty awesome :3

I've heard that a lot of custom domains get filtered by tech giants. Have you experienced any problems like that? I agree it would be nice and self hosting it is pretty straightforward.

[–] meowmeowbeanz 2 points 1 month ago

gmail likes to flag some of my mail as spam despite having everything set up properly (TLS, dkim, sfp, PTR) . Some businesses have improperly configured MX, so you can't be too strict on the rules or you'll need manual intervention all the time.

Overall, it works fine I have been running various domain for about 10y now. Plus it contributes to the decentralization of email \o/

I have a .cloud address that works fine. Just make sure DKIM, SPF and HELO is setup and configured properly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Not true at all. Consider that would also mean filtering legit businesses.

This offers no features over the embedded calendar in the mail app. Not even widgets.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

they said it had widgets in the announcement blot

What's the skinny on tuta v proton?

[–] priapus 8 points 1 month ago

IMO they're both good options. Afaik, Tuta has an open source backend, unlike Proton. However, Proton has had great recent independent security audits, and court orders against them have shown how little information they keep.

Proton offers more features and services, which also makes it a bit more expensive. I've used and like both, but right now I have a Proton Unlimited subscription because I like their drive, vpn, and password manager.

Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn't even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.

If you're going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it's difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.
