I'm having a hard time finding how to access about:profiles, but in looking for this I found you can disable the "download messages on startup" option. Maybe Thunderbird is the solution. It will require some more investigation, but this is giving me hope.

The difference is that the alias provider or destination email provider can associate all your accounts with your identity. I do not want to give this ability to either the alias provider or the email provider. It is a different threat model. (Please correct if I am wrong)

I did not say how many different accounts I have, but you can assume my separation of accounts is sufficient for my needs.

I should clarify that I already have multiple email accounts, so extra aliasing is not necessary. I'm looking for an email client application I can run on my desktop which separates the accounts well enough from the email provider.

 

Hi, I'm looking for a mail client that is well suited for managing multiple identities and can easily handle routing everything over an anonymity network.

I would use Thunderbird, but I think when you take it online, it downloads from all your connected email accounts. I want to "go online" at will toward particular email addresses, in other words I do not want my upstream mail provider to be able to associate my accounts in any way, including access time, assuming there is a large enough other pool of people using the same client/anonymity network.

Are there any that are well made for this purpose? Otherwise I will use the mail frontend over Tor or something, but it would be nice to have a lightweight client-side application too so I can keep my emails downloaded and delete them from the server.

Hamsters?

Did we just witness double trouble?

Aviation laws require the no smoking signs to be put there, and ash trays to be in the aircraft bathrooms even though smoking is of course never allowed. Sadly basically all the safety rules are because of some prior incident that cost lives. You would hope a reminder is enough but some think they know better than the rules.

Yes. I think what I wanted to say is you can set up Tor PoW for an onion in addition to currently using Cloudflare for clearnet, but sounds like that will be part of the server migration rather than happening now. Thanks for the response.

 

I'm looking for a place I can post one-off jobs, like to help get me unblocked during software development after I've spent hours on what should be a tiny issue. I know these market-type communities can be hard to moderate though.

To be honest, I didn't verify the signature when I installed it. The download is over TLS (HTTPS) so you know you have a secure connection with the F-Droid server during the download. But because of the tiny chance the F-Droid website was hacked at the time you download it, you should verify the signature.

Tor introduced native DDoS protection for onion services using a transparent Proof-of-Work defense over a year ago: https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-proof-of-work-defense-for-onion-services/

You should strongly consider making the switch and turning on this feature. I was very surprised to find that this instance was being Cloudflare blocked. Maybe we could help with funding if needed.
