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:

📧✨ Oh, joy! Another "revolutionary" email forwarding service promises lightning-fast delivery and unlimited addresses because managing 30K domains and 28M emails is an obviously unique feat. 🚀 Sign up for the 7-day trial—because who doesn't love trying *yet another* email service before canceling? 🙄

NOPE! that's where the time goes, you know.
I see what it is. All of my TLD "owned domain names" are not there.
So. yep. that explains why we don't use it.
For a while, it had access to any imap.
:(
are there #emailservice providers that let you setup for aggregate / inbox, several accounts like that?
#Spark email isnt free. #mailspring breaks for me, as well as #bluemail
never sending mail, waiting 15 minutes for a compose window to be drawn, composed from the wrong account, etc.
that's where the time goes, you know.
So I've given @mailfence a very quick test on their Free tier.
That seems to be quite reasonable alternative for e-mail services. In som parts it's what I would expect @mailbox_org being. Except of one thing: Unencrypted incoming e-mails will not be stored encrypted.
Since I'm on the free tier currently, I've not tested the IMAP integration.
The weakness of #Mailfence and #Mailbox are that the PGP setup requires some efforts to happen. The "settings" panel on Mailfence is cleaner and better organized than mailbox.org, but the latter one is capable of ensuring all received e-mails are stored encrypted - regardless if it was encrypted at arrival or not.
PGP key management is still not as easy as it should be for non-tech users. "It should just happen automatically", is my stance here. It's close to being good, but you need to explicitly enable encryption on each mail you send - unless you reply to an already encrypted mail. This will confuse users and it will result in more unencrypted mails sent than intended.
Neither Mailfence nor mailbox.org will decrypt encrypted Subject fields.
I've briefly tested the WebDAV integration, which seems to work. But WebDAV is not end-to-end-encrypted, so uploaded data will not be stored in so-called "zero access" mode. This means the Mailfence people managing their servers can access and read your data. This will be the same for CalDAV/CardDAV too (calendar and contacts synching)
Mailbox.org recently announced they will upgrade their login system - which is long overdue. Their OTP setup is currently just confusing and very far from user friendly. Here Mailfence is very straight forward.
Both Mailfence and #mailbox_org still got quite a long way to provide a properly privacy enabled service. They're on a good path, but currently far from the capabilities of @protonprivacy, even on the most basic features in e-mail.

Hmmmm.... Curious what #email service providers I can look into for replacing a long term email acct that I have. I have a domain registered that I'd like to use but, what service should I use to host?
Would like something stable, secure, run by queer folk (or at least not run by a transphobic/queerphobic group). Also wanna filter out services run by people eying the AI/ML Kool-Aid
@limneticvillains welcome in the Fediverse. I'd recommend using hashtags when you ask these questions, for higher probability of being read, like #EmailService (click to find posts talking about it)
