what do you use as your client?

I'm not the poster you're replying to, but i did the same thing and use Purelymail (and their web interface, which i think is open-source)

it's a very cheap no-nonsense service, i recommend it

  • I just signed up given the low price, got it setup with K-9 POP on my phone. Gotta say that is a very simple and easy to follow setup. Compared with something like Zoho where I get lost everytime I need to navigate around.

    I'm really liking this, thanks for the recommendation.

  • Over the years I've recommended Migadu and still do. Affordable and reliable with usage based pricing.

    As for the email client I personally prefer Thunderbird on PC and FairEmail on Android.

    https://migadu.com/

    https://email.faircode.eu/

    • Fairemail is great. Better than Thunderbird and any other mail client around. Every so often I see a new mail client pop up for Android advertising that it does X better than any other client; I look at it and it's either built on top of either aosp or some other oss email client (or a rewrite of same) with X feature bolted on, often with numerous features missing. If you want a full email client, go with fairemail.

      Reminder to take a look at what nontrivial OSS software you use every day that you've never paid for, and consider a donation (I recommend GitHub sponsorship as a method that currently charges no fees to either the donor or the recipient)

  • Also not the poster you're replying to, but I get email with ProtonVPN, which I've linked to my domain.

    I'm not without my questions about them as a company, but Google are getting beyond a joke.

    Full migration away is coming with next phone upgrade.
