I ended up going with Mailfence and set it up yesterday. It looks pretty simple and straightforward. Proton was another good option but I liked that Mailfence uses sustainable energy for its servers. I decided anything would be better than Microsoft or Google so it’s nice to see more options available.
Thank you for your reply.
I’m replying to my own post but I thought I would share a review that was very thorough and helpful. It compares Proton and Mailfence. I didn’t understand all the technical stuff but I understood enough.
Does Tuta use POP for its email service then?
I have personal and business needs (I’m an entrepreneur in the construction industry).
I am just starting out and trying to keep operational costs down. Proton has a free option and then some pay plans as well so it could work.
Some say they are carbon neutral with their servers which I also like since they all take electricity to run.
Thank you for your questions to my questions, probably there will be more questions
Cool thanks, I saw that one on the website link someone else posted
So many choices!
Good website, it shows sustainable choices and also integration to other apps
Thanks for your reply Durandal, this will definitely help is deciding.
I was setting up some other apps and my Apple ID is still stuck with my ancient Hotmail address so was looking to tidy up things.
I will continue my research, thanks
I just installed Brave on my Ubuntu OS on my laptop to replace Chrome. It is running better than chrome was so far. Is there a way to setup Brave to safeguard against some of things mentioned or should I go with something like DuckDuckGo instead?
Cool, sounds like what I’m going for. Thanks for your help
Great, thanks for the help
I was using Instagram and threads mostly but was wanting to stop using Meta based apps. Someone posted about the fediverse so I started using mastodon and Pixelfed.
This is supposed to be a Reddit replacement is what some people said but I didn’t really use that before
I downloaded the Lemmy Voyager app for iOS and there is a toggle switch for this item.
The term “not safe for work” reminds me of an episode of “I think you should leave” on Netflix
Jalapeño Kettle Chips, Pringles, La Cocina Tortilla Chips, Covered Bridge Weekender Potato Chips
Are there any preparations for dealing with the bots, ads, trolls, etc. when they eventually migrate over? The word budget comes to mind. Is Lemmy open source and not for profit?
No, ran out last week
How do you become an official shitizen?
Is subscribing how you “follow” a certain community or person. I’ve been bouncing around to multiple apps so just checking how things work.
Thanks for the warm welcome
What does NSFW stand for? Nudes Sex Fun Wanking? Is switching on cause explicit content to show up or block it?
Cool thanks, I’m going to switch my business email next year sometime after I use up my business cards so I will check it out. Someone posted a great link with overviews of the different European email providers that was helpful.
