A few tips on making email fun and enjoyable again. No seriously
Never register to a newsletter. Use RSS instead. This will cut down on more emails than you think
Use email alias and disposable email addresses. If you’re going away on vacation, temporarily disable the disposable email addresses or aliases until you return.
Actually use email for lengthy non-business communication. It’s very soothing.
Instead of keeping things in your email, move those to a notes text file for easier sorting later. Schedule non important folders to automatically delete if your provider supports it.
Ban addresses instead of clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of emails.
Create a designated important/to do folder that never automatically deletes. Move important/action items into that folder.
Switch all reading views to plain text. Emails are not web pages and should never be treated as a web page. If the information can go into a text document, it does not belong in your email storage.
各位关注及其跟踪 @board Fedi 用户们好！
如果您使用来自中国互联网公司的电子邮件传送接受服务商，请停止使用
众所周知，在中国、几乎所有互联网服务都需要实名制
电子邮件这项服务也不例外
其实如果通过实名制后可以不影响使用还好
但是恰恰一点非常反制，那就是中国电子邮件传送接受服务商封锁了对于非中国大陆的电子邮件传送接受服务商发送与接收
俺没有 Gmail 邮箱传送的历程
> 因此，Gmail 作为国际著名邮箱或许可以无限制
还有非常重要的一点，就是不要使用中国电子邮件传送接受服务商注册被 GFW 屏蔽的非中国大陆的互联网服务
这点在互联网上面很多人强盗这一点，但互联网上面来自中国的互联网用户还是这样做

I have lost track, what is the current preferred, non-ens**ified, non-fascist email service out there (happy to pay). Needs to support retrieving email via Thunderbird or similar, mobile phone, web. (I know Proton Mail got struck off the list some time ago).
(I used to run my own email servers, but not doing that again, unless DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and spam management has gotten any easier in the last decade, lol)
Offshore, EU (provided there are no send/receive issues), or trustworthy US.
Bonus for ability to create various aliases and multiple mailboxes without a large charge.
You should selfhost your mail (in 2026) https://lobste.rs/s/x3x2aw #email

Dear Friends who are kewl,
Well I am not cool. Too infirm, feeble and decrepit, especially pre-breakfast...
But in case you are a coolist:
1) I thought I had Thunderbird on my #Linux desktop. No. Wrong. Fail!
2) Instead I had #Deltachat AND LO and Behold. I managed (finally) to get it working [Sounds of #mad #heroic lobster gleeful yelping]
3) I even bypassed 'do know evil' Goo-gle and Apple (pronounced 'appal') sign in (which I don't have/use anymore) and...
4) ...Setup a new #email account in European Canada 🌈
Ye Gods and Elders of the Internet! I may still have a few olde leet nerdiness in me... ✅

Thunderbird’s Desktop Calendar Visual Redesign https://lobste.rs/s/lxuwtv #design #email
https://blog.thunderbird.net/2026/08/desktop-calendar-a-design-journey/
@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
Para todos los que están aquí en el fediverso, lo mas seguro es que ya hayan tomado medidas en pro de su privacidad y por eso estén aquí en primer lugar.
Pero si tu no lo has hecho siempre hay una primera vez para todo el mundo, te invito a registrarte y probar ProtonMail que es un correo seguro sin la vigilancia que te hace Gmail y con soporte para enviar correos cifrados a cualquier usuario y nisiquiera los creadores de Proton puedan leer tus correos.
Y sabes que es lo mejor, que tienen una suite completa que incluye, Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, Proton VPN, Proton Docs, Lumo (Servicio de IA Cifrado) etc. Y todo lo que te acabo de mencionar obviamente es de código abierto (FOSS).
Puedes crearte una cuenta con mi link de referido para probar las opciones de paga por un tiempo y probar todo el servicio completo desde el inicio, y si te subscribes a uno de los planes a ti te dan créditos que se traducen en suscripción gratis y a mi igualmente me dan la misma cantidad para que ambos disfrutemos. ¿Porqué no le das una probada?
Link: https://pr.tn/ref/17MMJJGQ
Aunque claro yo se que la migración no es facil pero proton ya ofrece distintas soluciones a ello como el poder importar todos tus correos de Gmail a tu cuenta de proton. Y si tienes alguna duda o estas interesado, Puedes responder a este post o escribirme a este correo: Contactogeneralyaksha@pm.me
Yo puedo hacerte una guía y puedo ayudarte y darte algunos consejos que te pueden ayudar en tu migración. ¡ Animate ¡

Day 2 of my adventure with Fastmail and I'm convinced they make good decisions because they've opted to have setup instructions for @Vivaldi 😍

An interesting article from Gilles Chehade, author of OpenSMTPD, from 2019.
“Self-hosting mail is not HARD but requires WORK, which are two different things.”
I ran mail servers for more than 10 years, much of that time in Asia, where we had to deal with a significant amount of spam. It's also been more than 10 years since I last managed one. Not because I don't want to, but simply because I haven't had the opportunity since then. And running a mail server just for myself doesn't make much sense to me.
Still worth reading today.

Oh Ugh! #Fastmail has HCaptcha. Bletch! Tried to do their 30 day free trial and, not only did they seem to block Google Voice numbers, but they have HCaptcha on almost every login/recovery page, and, no thank you. Gonna look at other email providers, but Fastmail is out for me, which is a shame because I love all the things they provide.
HCaptcha is everywhere on almost all account activity things I tried. Creation, login, recovery, and other places. I had to do their accessibility cookie. I don’t know why I did not get there text challenge. When HCaptcha detected I had a Gmail address, they forced me to make an account. I made an account, applied the accessibility cookie, then immediately requested my account be deleted. HCaptcha said my account will be deleted within 20 hours. I can’t express how much I hate HCaptcha. #Email

Email Self Hosters - what are you using? https://lobste.rs/s/rwloew #ask #email
made a userChrome.css file that gets a lot of #Thunderbirds UI crap out of the way. Wishing I could charge $1 for it somehow because I do not do CSS well, so I am sure there is a better way but I worked hard on this and this one gets rid of all the UI clutter. Also made my own personal USERS JS file so I wouldn't have to change settings every time I wanna try a different version of Thunderbird. Trying to figure out where to stick it online so others download it/them. May update this toot with a link to it on Github later but it annoys me I had to spend time doing this in the first place. How in the world do you sighted people deal with such cluttered UIs? #Thunderbird #Email
