    I got it too but I would rather self-host or pick something else like runbox or other popular players here.

  • @manish said: runbox

    I would reconsider https://status.runbox.com

    Many such memes, but I don’t think anyone takes those seriously.

    Don't trust some company because it is originated in swiss. Everybody can fund and start a company in switserland. The nazis knew this already 80 years ago.

    I got my invite July 31st and signed up for a year. I wasn't going to signup due to the pricing but figured since I've been a long time user of thunderbird, I might as well do it and consider it partly as a donation of sorts. Hopefully the pricing goes down or resources goes up otherwise I might not renew next year.

    Avoid proton, they say privacy, maybe yes but i recall they surrender info when police asked nice enough.

    Maybe tuta good enough? Or selfhosted instead. . .

    The point is, I trust it as a reliable email service with decent features compared to other paid ones. Not as some anonymous bulletproof service and if that is the use case, don’t be surprised when they hand over your data. Using that as a trust metric makes no sense.

    Tuta complies with German court orders

    So is proton with Swiss court orders

    https://proton.me/legal/transparency

    Neither is any better when law enforcement is involved. Privacy and anonymity are different things.

  • manishmanish Member

    Shit happens and even if I turn off my email server for 12 hours, i will still get all the important emails :smiley:

  • Yes, I received it too.

  • @reikuzan said: Maybe tuta good enough

    no!

  • AstroAstro Member

    I received it a while ago. I would have redeemed it if I could pay monthly but yearly is just dumb.

    @Astro said: I received it a while ago. I would have redeemed it if I could pay monthly but yearly is just dumb.

    i wish they'd clearly stated what the normal monthly cost was, or what the non-early-bird pricing would be. probably would have been scary without the (implied) double discount.

    nobody is going to jail to keep your email secret, we need to be realistic.

    @TimboJones said: Double the send storage as received? Wtf?

    yea i guess i could have looked it up but i wondered what that meant too.

    they arent mature enough for the investment. I would pay the monthly once to reserve my username but yearly upfront? They can take a hop.

  • At that pricing thundermail better be able to cook my meals and wash my clothes.

    Personally, that's a price I'd be willing to pay for reliable email.

    I pay €10/mo for 1 inbox right now but I'm looking to move to an EU-based provider though, so I won't be moving to this.

    what are you currently paying €10/month for, and which EU provider do you want to switch to?

    I have Google Workspace, I've been using it since late 2018-ish and it has been working really well but I want to move away from Google and US-based stuff, and also the price increases are becoming more frequent, I started out at €5/mo, then €6.50/mo, €8.63/mo and now €10.13/mo.

    I haven't found a suitable EU provider yet, I looked at a few but my main concern is uptime and deliverability.

    I'm hoping for some sort of AI value added for any future increases.

    I'm curious if there's any studies of a well ran organized criminal organization that was replaced by CIA and was caught from poorly running it; or the opposite with a poorly run criminal organization being found out because the honeypot replacement was too competent.

    Virtually all providers will do that. That's why you need to know your threat model and use appropriate safety measures (e.g. an anonymity network to connect so it can't tell the feds your IP, or GnuPG so they can't serve you malicious JS one day that sends your password to them in the clear to get around their client-side encryption).

    Not CIA, but FBI: https://gist.github.com/grugq/7713916#file-gistfile1-txt-L115-L252

    tl;dr Well-managed criminal group was thoroughly infiltrated by the FBI, yet it was so well-run that every single person who used Tor or a remailer and followed the group's opsec rules could not be caught, whereas everyone else did get caught.

    inbox.eu works pretty well for me. Never had a problem with them

    proton is overhyped imo. Expensive and already too big. If you want a secure email provider then go with countermail

    edit: saw that no new customers are accepted atm at countermail

    Proton Unlimited is 6599 INR/yr (~69), which comes with paid tier of their VPN too, and it’s even cheaper than the $72 Thundermail charges. Cheaper than Tuta too.

  • JasonMJasonM Member

    only 1 inbox for 3 domains??
    no. i don't like this from Thundermail.
    inbox should be seperated for each domain.

    Thats the price i pay to zoho for a year. What you get for 10euros/m ?
    EDIT: To not get confusion, its 10euros/y for zoho

  • Is it really limited to fifteen local-parts? Is there a good reason to restrict to such a small number?

    personal but the features should be the same
    about 21€ for 3 years and 100gb storage

    got my invite, but I'd say $6/month is a bit expensive for my budget...
