Do you have any recommendations for someone who just uses them for email?

    Just switched and couldn't be happier. Now I can use FairMail as a client and loving all the extra features.

    I used a custom but generic sounding domain name which made the switch pretty seamless.

    I'm only missing tag support on emails from them. In my ever growing archive, I came to realize, that tags are better suited for organizing than folders.

    Ideally I would archive in yearly folders and also tag as much as I can.

    I've been using Tuta for more than 8 years now and had one serious issue with their service during this time (longer outage, pretty early on). Other than that I have nothing but positive experience with them.
    They're also based in Germany if that makes any difference.

    I was debating between proton and tuta, but I was able to get first.last@tuta so I’m happy that worked out now.

    I’m happy Posteo.net user.
    German and secure email service.
    But unfortunately the web frontend isn't quite as good, so if you are dependent on something like this then don't use it.

    Try https://port87.com/

    I made it, so I’m obviously very biased, but I think it’s better than Proton. It’s got some really useful organization and anti-spam features.

    The labeling idea is pretty interesting, an email service with inbuilt proxy, but your website is pretty light on details. Stuff like pricing or custom domain support is absent.

    Good point. I’ll add that.

    I’m working on custom domain support right now. And pricing is pretty straightforward, since I only have extra storage and sending options. You get 500MB for free, and the ability to receive email. Sending is $1/month. I put that behind a paywall to prevent spammers from using Port87. As a small email service, if you send spam, the big players can blocklist you and kill your service. So, keeping my SMTP servers’ IP address reputation high is really important.

    You can join the Discord to follow along with new features and updates:

    I've got an account with tilde.club

    They even have a newsgroup service for the tilde community. It's not full on Usenet and there aren't any hosted files, but it's a nice community feature.

    You get a gigabyte soft cap (three gig hard cap and a week grace period to get back to soft cap) but it actually talks to google, for the time being, and I've been making an attempt at migrating to the point of using gmail as a 'talking ot my republican family' and 'spam' account.

    Remember. This is a hobbiest community. Personal recommendation is using tilde.club for emails, and spread your other needs across other tilde servers.

    Yes commandline interaction is required.

    Save your SSH keys not just on your computer but in a couple other secure places. If you have to pull them from backup, remember to reset the file's permissions otherwise SSH won't like them. Setting up a password backup is very helpful here especially since that will let you use your mail address with apps such as k-9 on android, or claws/thunderbird/outlook for desktop.

    SDF's been, in my experiance, less sure? I don't want to talk trash about what is effectivly pubnix's grandaddy. I'm going to put money in the pot because I want that place to keep running, but i view it more as curiosity than cornerstone.

    Tutanota has been pretty decent to me, though their android client is sometimes a little rough around the edges. Though never in a way that's caused problems for me or impaired usage, and it has a pretty enough interface.

    They have a free plan if you're broke as shit like I am and are looking to switch from a free proton plan
