Okay, this looks like a cool solution. I think I have been convinced, given my on level of expertise, I could not pull it off without a huge time sync just to get the scaffolding to understand the tech.

Good point, I don't want to be foolish and make using email worse for me. My area has gotten blackouts, so that can be a problem.

Okay, it is seems that ProtonMail is winning out.

Anyways, I there are so many other cool programs to self-host, so once I get good with those I can tackle email if I think it is still worth trying.

Neato. Yeah, just today I spent more than that on a haircut. Will deeply consider it.

That is cool. Everytime I have created a new email account, it has been an island. Never learned to preserve emails... Well, except the one time I use Thunderbird. I should set that up again. Maybe it would solve my issue of multiple accounts??

In any case I like consolidation and I don't like logging into a website everytime if I can avoid it.

Damn. Privacy is something I was hoping would be a benefit from self-hosting.

I mean, I haven't taken the bite yet but it is way more than I can chew. I am not keen on basic stuff like encryption.

Hell, I just want to have both my email accounts on my phone without paying for it. I think privacy is worth paying for, but I need to be smart about what I trust.

Thank you for the leads! I have a lot of research to do.

Clean and utilitarian. I hope it stays this way.

I guess you got to play the game if you want to win. I Google and Microsoft have the same level of trust from me, so it goes to whoever makes it easier.

That is past me. I am barely starting to like myself now!

This is what I want! I want that granular control of having an email address compartmentalized for specific kinds of communication. I mean, I know it is something provided by basically all email providers, but I don't know, for sure there are limitations. A unique address for each website seems like such a smart thing to do, on top of being stingy with giving out my email address.

I am not keen on using any Amazon services. Working at a warehouse near the holidays, on top of all the evidence of awful labor conditions, makes me never want to give them my money ever again.

That was a sobering read. We all feel victorious when we see big tech fail after they wronged their users, but fundamental technologies that actually run the world have already been lost, and may never be recoverable for egalitarian use.
