Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    There's mail apps for Linux. I think thunderbird is most popular.

    My point was about corporate IT refusing to provide a mail server to the outside world.

    So no IMAP/POP3 server or what do you mean? If so how does the web app work?

    Webapp probably uses Exchange services internally and exposes only a web interface to the internet

    Ah, I suppose that makes sense.

    In the end, web front-ends always allow to expose selected parts of any kind of internal (potentially insecure) protocols to the internet through a demilitarized zone that only allows https protocol.

    It's like being allowed to watch the data you are interested in through a glass window, but no touching :)
