email

I'm looking for data about #email hosting "market share", and could use some pointers; If you know of a source that matches the following description, I'd appreciate it!

My ideal data source would have a list of email providers and an estimate of how many users (ideally active but I'll take what I can get) each one has.

Some properties I need:
* It needs to understand that email domain and hosting provider are not the same; eg. my work email uses our university domain, but is really Outlook, I need that counted as Outlook
* It would ideally be updated on a frequent basis, bonus points if I can get some level of historical data
* It should capture at least some of the 'long tail' of the email hosts beyond just the giant ones, but I understand that no list like this can possibly be exhaustive
* I would prefer that it be free; I'm willing to pay some, but this is for a personal side project, so I'm not paying for the ones meant for "email marketers", and I can't agree to any ToS that would prevent me from sharing at least bits of the data publicly

Thanks! Boosts appreciated for reach.

OK nerds, what's the best email client on Linux?

I'm interested in both GUI and terminal email clients. I consider them to be in separate categories, not competing with one another.

Until recently I've just been using Gmail webmail + official clients because I'm a creature of habit, but I'm trying to transition away from Google. Currently experimenting with Migadu for email hosting.

EDIT: My goal is self-hosting, so no Proton or Tuta. (Also encrypted email is a bad idea.)

My list was getting bigger than a Fedi post could hold, so it is now hosted on Codeberg, an alternative to GitHub or GitLab, but based out of Germany. 👍

I should learn how to use mailing lists and IRC.

Because a.) they have cool people on them, and b.) they are so old that they are essentially immune to the enshittification wafting over the waking world.

My only issue with IRC is that it seems like you have to be constantly connected in order to actually keep track of a conversation? I like COMMODE on SDF because it has a nice room history (as well as a friendly TUI). Any tips are appreciated.

And here comes the censorship.

Microsoft has been punishing those who use the words #Gaza #Genocide and #Palestine by not delivering their #email. Sender beware.

This I find terrifying. And a bit discombobulating. Microsoft is no small company.

We asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies.

The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” information that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.”

Sigh...did not realize SendGrid was removing their free tier for 100 messages or less a day. Alright, what are some alternatives?

EDIT: Mailgun it is. Thanks!

This is used to send out invites and administration emails from various apps I'm running.

I'm willing to pay a small amount but not freaking $20/mo to send out 5-10 emails a week.

#Email #EmailRelay

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going.

No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

We are basically doing what #signal and in particular moxie refused to do or declares impossible: federation.

Both #email and #activitypub ecosystems are all about federation.

However, #deltachat is vertically centralized in that all UIs use the same #rust core which implements all networking, encryption, chat/group/message logic in a single centralized place. The now 40+ #chatmail mail relay network is driven from centralized code.

At each level replication and federation is built in.
