Is there any Immich / Ente comparison?

Thanks I really appreciate elaborated comments about both. I think I’m going to skip the Tuta encryption for now. While it has a way of keeping it encrypted for the destination, it involves the final user having to click some links in order to open the encrypted mail. I mean…I think most of the people I’d write to would hate having to do extra steps just to see an email I wrote. So I guess I’d have to stick to unencripted, and then the advantage is kinda lost. I’d like a fully encrypted mailbox, yeah, but not at the cost of making it incompatible with any other app or email standards. I guess I didn’t have a great experience with Proton apps for Android.

Don’t take me wrong, I’d love to have a fully encrypted mailbox, but not by making it all cumbersome.

Hmmmmm I’d say Librem is US-based. Not to mention their whole mess with delivering pre-orders (and normal orders) of their Librem phone. Last time I checked they still didn’t fulfill most of their orders right? …Nah I think this shouldn’t be where to trust my email.

Aw crap that’s what I started to think on the third episode or so with the radio and light shenanigans… I’ve just started watching it.

I hope they have some idea of where is this meant to go.

Sigh…right. But people DO need email. For banks. For taxes. For governments, healthcare, and lots of other crap.

So yeah, I’m skipping the whole “encrypted mailbox no-knowledge”, since it’s both cumbersome and useless unless anyone around you ALSO uses it (otherwise, those super private emails can be way more easily intercepted during transit than in your inbox anyway).

I just want some attempt at privacy from some EU nation while keeping some decent interoperability.

With that you mean it’s standard access IMAP/SMTP from any client you want, as opposed to Proton/Tutanota and their custom apps right? Yeah, I prefer a standard protocol and my own app.

Wow…This one seems to be a very good one as well. How come it’s not even mentioned in privacytools.io or privacyguides.org?

For what’s worth, I’m going to give it a shot on the month trial. But I already see the middle tier for 3€ offers 10GB email only. I think I can fit my current old mail backup in about 4GB, but it would be slightly tight, I guess. I’m on an older Proton plan which charges about 3USD per month (by-yearly) and it gets me about 20GB. I think shared between cloud and email (I’m not actually interested in the cloud part, I have Seafile for that).

I’d try avoiding email hosting. I’ve heard way too many times that it’s too much pain when it fails, and when it fails basically emails are bounced. I can’t afford to miss taxes emails or other important stuff.

I’m all for options, to be honest. What ideally I’d like is some sort of good encrypted email based in some safe European country, which can achieve decent Android integration. Proton apps are pretty useless to that effect (lack of offline basic functionalities, the calendar app isn’t even an android calendar provider). I’m not too hard in moving around my emails, since for the last few years I’ve been giving my email @duck.com which actually ends up sending to my final email after some tracking cleaning. Changing email provider would entail only updating my @duck.com destination.

Following up…Yeah, why not Startmail or Disroot? Startmail seems to offer more bang for the buck than Mailbox. I’m not sure how many aliases you get if you get a paid plan in disroot.

EDIT: I…misread. Startmail offers half-priced plan the first year, then goes ahead and doubles it, getting pricier than Proton, Mailbox and about everyone else I think.

Wow. First news. Shitty of them claiming to follow Mull’s legacy if they’re doing their own thing.

If you’re concerned about these kind of things, you might want to know about the GrapheneOS duress password. You set a second PIN, called duress PIN/password. If you’re ever forced to type a PIN, you can type this one instead of the real one. It will lock/wipe out the phone within a few seconds. There’s a few youtube videos showcasing this self-destruct mode.

Can we have the names in the headlines of which MPs keeps consistently putting this crap on the agenda multiple times every year for the last couple of decades?

I don’t think I heard such complaint from any Game Boy owning kid in the 90s.
