    Whats the best email service? I use Thunderbird for just about everything, but gmail has been getting on my nerves lately. I would love to selfhost, but my internet service provider blocks port 25…

      I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.

      You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.

      I’ve been using Protonmail and it does the job (although not for free). To use it with Thunderbird I need to use a “bridge” background app to decrypt it though.

        Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

        The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

        Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

        I’ve done it once before with mailinabox. It worked for a while…then we moved.

        Just seeing what my options are. Thanks!
