Proton Mail gets Newsletter view to manage all email subscriptions in one place:
https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-newsletters
(That's really cool. Now we can tell normies that Proton Mail has this feature and Gmail doesn't lol)

Proton Pass adds 14 new entry types, option to create custom types:
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/6/proton-pass-goes-beyond-passwords-and-credit-cards-with-customizable-item-storage/
(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)

Firefox 140 ESR released with unload tab feature, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view, "Select All" option for bookmarks on Android:

Firefox 141 beta is available with less memory usage on Linux, ability to drag a tab to the pinned tabs tray and drag it out to unpin it, etc.:

Mozilla discontinues DeepSpeech, an embedded/offline speech-to-text engine:

(GNOME: *drops a feature every few releases*
Mozilla: Hold my beer. *drops a service each week*)

I finally decided to move to Posteo (https://posteo.de/en) and MTMedia (https://mtmedia.org/)

I didn't choose Proton because they have implemented an AI writing assistant, and I received a warning that they share their clients' account data.

I am looking for an Email Provider that isn’t based in the US (so not Nadir or Riseup) and that is not owned by big tech companies. After some research (european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/gmail), I have found two options:
* Posteo
* Proton
Has anyone used either of these? I would love to hear your thoughts on which is better and why. If you have any other recommendations, please feel free to share them!

Well, I think my adventure with @Tutanota will come to an end soon.

From 9€ per year to 36€ (before tax), a 400% increase in 7 years...

That's really unfortunate because I really wish them the best.

For anyone who happens to be looking for an email provider, I've been very happy with posteo.de.

(In the US you can choose a domain name of posteo.net, .com, and something else I forgot)

Anyone out there using #Tutanota for email? I'm thinking of using it, would like to hear good or bad experiences, or if you know of a reliable alternative with good privacy and ideally more environmentally-friendly. 💌

Edit: just heard of #Posteo which seems a more environmentally-friendly alternative. Any feedback on that?

Edit 2: actually Tutanota is also env-friendly, e.g. their servers run on renewable energy: https://tuta.com/sustainability

#EmailProvider

Yeah! I sent my monthly newsletter yesterday. It contains the dates of the next workshops (and yeah, I already stripped the text out of any links as well of "adult" words as this already happened before etc), and some concerts and film screenings.

Some email providers are blocking it (and blacklisting my email address) based on the content. The recipients are not even aware that the email was blocked, so maybe they are not getting other emails with similar keywords in the text.

Am I the only one seeing that this is highly problematic and that it transcends "user/consumer preferences"?

Imagine Deutsche Post deciding not to deliver you some letters based on whatever their impression of acceptable content is?

what can be done about this? either for the specific situation and at a major scale perspective?

we speak about content filtering in instagram etc, but these are email providers.

@Tutanota @protonmail what about a collaboration to build a standard? #walledgarden #redecentralize #email #emailprovider #emailencryption #encryption #security

Heya fediverse, I am currently looking for an #emailprovider and would love to hear recommendations:

- In #Europe, (not just the datacenter)
- Allows unlimited or a very large set of inboxes/wildcard forwards
- I can use my custom domain
- reasonable price (hard to gauge, but I don’t think it should cost more than 70 a year for the above?)

Feel free to send referral links or so!

Please boost! Maybe others are also looking and could find this.

Looking to move away from Gmail and my own email server. What are good options? It can be paid or free. Preferable with an IMAP option as well. Bonus if the email domain is easy to spell in English :) My own domains are not. #email #emailprovider #suggestions

YEAH!
Australian e-mail provider #Fastmail is now on the #Fediverse: @fastmail
