mailbox

Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.

Something smol like:

one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
in a French datacenter
128 Mb of storage
10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
limited sent per hour (no spam)
IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)

Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?

Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

Usually, I read mail using emacs+notmuch. To avoid leaving tons of messages on servers, I use the POP3 protocol: all correspondence is downloaded by a periodic task with the help of an application included in the standard package of every popular distribution — mpop. Its settings are quite simple: you can describe several mailboxes in the configuration and sort mail into folders, launching notmuch tag with regular expressions for preliminary message tagging after each session. The account password can be left in the config or stored in a keychain, from which it will be retrieved using the passwordeval directive. As a result, I can process mail completely asynchronously offline.

Today, I discovered a real gift for myself: among Rust crates, there is one very suitable for my refined mail handling algorithm — mop3. This is a server responding to mail client (MUA) requests via the POP3 protocol and converting them into API queries to a Mastodon instance. Thus, I can receive posts from all authors I follow as email messages. It’s much cooler than using Emacs modules for Mastodon or TUI tools like toot, tut, etc.

Ok crew. I need the Fediverse brains trust with this one. I'm using Fastmail as my email provider right now. It's ok, has good features. But I'm just concerned that it's not the most secure provider out there. I have a free tier account with proton, but lately I've been a bit disappointed in their decision making and not sure I want to sign up for a paid account. I know #tuta is often recommended. #mailbox.org also. What about #soverin ?
