Friendly reminder that Thunderbird is a great way to handle multiple email accounts on the desktop.
There are no perfect desktop email clients, but Thunderbird is pretty great.
It’s a little too powerful for my needs, so I stick to Claws.
I moved away from a desktop client for several years because of Thunderbird staying stuck in the 2010s, but the redesign brought me back into the fold. It’s certainly overkill for scanning through subject lines, but compared to having five tabs open …
Bluemail is decent. But im still always looking for better.
Correct me if I’m wrong, I very well might be, but doesn’t Bluemail do the same thing as the new Outlook for their “instant push” feature? I don’t see how else they’d accomplish that.
But Thunderbird still doesn’t support outlook calendar etc right?
It does support any good calendar using CalDav standard.
I must say I’m quite pleased with it too. The previous time I tried it was in 2005 and it was just ok. I also recently found out about the Owl add-on. Really makes it a good alternative
It can even look great with the Monterail Dark 2 Add-On.
(For some reason I had to download it and then install it from the downloaded file, but it DOES work!)
Also available in a Full Dark mode version
What a clickbaity article. I’m all for exposing bad stuff but this article presents zero proof of it transferring passwords. It also fails to highlight the manner of how data voluntarily synced to MS is handled. All in all it doesn’t do anything but trying to steer users to it’s own services.
So reading another article (https://www.heise.de/news/Microsoft-lays-hands-on-login-data-Beware-of-the-new-Outlook-9358925.html )makes it more clear. If you consent to syncing IMAP account to outlook then it will transfer IMAP username password and mailserver config to Outlook.
I mean, they could have specified that your IMAP credentials would be synced, but it’s redundant considering you’re telling it to sync.
As for third party accounts you can only select IMAP, no pop3, sand it warns you’d be logged in thorough Microsoft servers, they don’t even try to hide it
It’s ok Microsoft are very sorry you found out
PSA: mailbox.org has a great, privacy focused email service.
I went on a trawl on email security and privacy.
It doesn’t fucking exist.
Regular mails w/e sure
But I’m never talking to someone via email again.
Agreed, but unfortunately, unless they implement VJOURNAL in their caldav implementation, I’ll probably switch to Fastmail when my prepay is up.
Fastmail is a great provider, very happy customers, but with them being in a five eyes country, I don’t trust them. But it’s only email which is a nightmare protocol regarding privacy anyways so I don’t really care.
I don’t know about sharing passwords, but I know that if you have an Exchange server on premises (meaning you have mailserver on your own infrastructure maybe somewhere in the building) because you don’t want to have your data in the cloud - Outlook for mobile (both iOS and Android versions) has been sending all your data through M$ servers anyway, don’t know for how long - quick search returned a 3 year old reference - imo much longer. There are “benefits” that I may be too dumb to understand:
On iOS you can go around and use the default “Mail.app”. On Android I haven’t found a good app that would work with EWS - I’m using K-9 over IMAP which isn’t great.
The old outlook was just perfect, the new one is positively abhorrent. I swear if they force one more app to me I’m going to purposefully stop using it altogether
Why wait?
Aw fuck. I accidentally opened it and it automatically upgraded to the new one. I barely ever use it though
Mailbox.org doesn’t allow you to sign up at this time. Is this… getting teary eyes lemmy… having impact on the webs?
Why can’t you sign up?
They block countries that originate a lot of spam from signup, which includes the US @smokedclover@feddit.de. You can use a VPN to signup, though I did have to reach out to support at one point very early on to finalize some provisioning. I don’t know if it was related to the geo-blocking, it’s been awhile. But I’ve had no problems since.
“We apologize, but for maintenance work the registration of new accounts is currently blocked. Please check back later.” But it still says that so there probably is some maintenance going (wr)on(g).
school requires outlook account ._.
Use a different mail app, and use the outlook account.
