[Update: Thanks everyone for all the boosts and suggestions. I'm going to try Mailo as it looks quite good - looks like it will suit me. It's hosted in France, and after further thought, that might actually be better than UK, considering current the political environment - as long as we stay friends with France!]

Got to get off gmail - not comfortable keeping my stuff on a fascist enabling US-based email provider. It's not safe anymore if they will just bend over for anything #TrumpMusk demand.

Any recommends for a non-American owned, preferably UK-based email hosts that don't require your own domain? Happy to have something like cybervegan23812@whateverhost.co.uk. Doesn't have to be webmail, but I'd prefer it.

I know how to host email myself, but I DON'T WANT TO - too much hassle these days, and I also don't want to buy and maintain a domain.

Additionally, NOT protonmail, as we have had family trauma involving them as an accessory to a crime against us. We don't want to be constantly reminded of this.

Please boost for reach.

Hmm. #protonmail openly siding with fascists wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, but hey so far there's been a heck of a lot this year I didn't expect.

Please give your recommendations of best place to move to for #webmail, Fediverse?

I'd actually look into self hosting a bunch of stuff if I could find something that solved a lot of problems and could actually work on shared hosting. Last year I looked into the viability of #nextcloud with the shared host I've been with for over a decade, and they don't allow it... And apparently Nextcloud mail isn't too great. I'm only partly tech-literate, so I really want something that works relatively out-of-the box.

What do people do here to protect their privacy, own their data, and still function online (ie not get their email blackholed by the Big Guys)??

Tip #601

Choose how frequently should email drafts be automatically saved in Vivaldi Webmail.

When you’re writing an email in Vivaldi’s email service’s web view, Vivaldi Webmail1, your draft will be automatically saved every 5 minutes. But you can change the frequency or disable this option altogether.

To review the draft saving setting:

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences > Composing Messages > Main Options.
  2. For “Automatically save draft” select:
    • Never
    • every 1 minute
    • every 3 minutes
    • every 5 minutes
    • every 10 minutes
  1. Access to Vivaldi Webmail is granted to new users after some time of active use of Vivaldi’s Community services. More info. ↩︎

We really need better open source #webmail clients. Sure, #selfhosting email is tricky, but good open source webmail implementations can be used by organisation wants to host their own email, or some small provider wants to sell email hosting, there aren't REALLY good open source webmail clients.

The fact that there are pretty few smaller providers is definitely affected by this.

If you follow us here, you might know the benefits of a email client over webmail, but if you or anyone in your life needs a refresher, we have you covered in a quick, informative overview of why email clients (like Thunderbird!) are the better choice: blog.thunderbird.net/2024/09/w

The Thunderbird Blog · Why Use a Mail Client vs Webmail - The Thunderbird BlogWhat is the difference between a mail client and using webmail?

Today's task: find and deploy a #webmail solution.

I used to use Squirrelmail long ago - what's the better options now?

Are there any I can run directly against Maildir and not have to run an IMAP server for? (On that topic is DoveCot still the state of the art for running an IMAP server on a small server?)

3/3 Opération #JeFaisMaigrirLeDatacenter. Donc loin des yeux, loin du cœur, ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas fait le tri 🚮 dans mon webmail.
Réflexion : il y a des conseillères et conseillers pour le Web, des consultant·es SEO à la pelle, des dévs... Mais je n'ai jamais vu d'offre de service "Je vous aide à trouver le #webmail et le logiciel (#clientdemessagerie) adaptés à vos besoins 🕵️‍♀️". Qu'en pensez-vous ?
