PSA We are happy about the wealth of privacy focused classic email providers (proton, tutanota, posteo, mailbox.org etc) but they are not geared for instant secure messaging. Do yourself, family and friends a favor and use delta with any of the many https://chatmail.at/relays

Or setup a relay of your own if you feel like it.

Or use a a dedicated chat email address on your own or any classic email server that has reliable service and no obnoxious rate limits or annoying spam handling.

Cheers.

@delta #protonmail and #tutamail doesn't even support #imap, right?

The University of Nottingham just enabled Outlook's archive feature:

“To keep your mailbox lighter and faster, emails that are older than 90 days are automatically moved into an online archive. You will find your old emails in the following folder:
- In the Outlook app, the folder name is: Online Archive – [Your Name]
- In the web version of Outlook, the folder name is: In-Place Archive [Your Name]”

In practice this means I can no longer access any emails older than 90 days in Thunderbird and there does not appear to be an option to download the In-Place Archive.
My question: What can I do to get this archive into Thunderbird, or to at least retain an offline copy?

I tried following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28005516/can-you-use-davmail-to-access-exchange-archives and https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/179034/can-i-view-my-microsoft-exchange-online-archive-via-davmail-in-thunderbird but that didn't work. (In particular Thunderbird flat out refuses to add an account with the same server and username...)

Can I view my Microsoft Exchange Online Archive via Davmail in Thunderbird

I have successfully set up Davmail on Ubuntu 14 and am able to read, receive and send mail on my Exchange account in Thunderbird. This page was a big help!: http://nknu.net/ubuntu-14-04-exchange-

I'm pondering on, instead of self-hosting, buying some #email service.
I need:
- Multiple separate inboxes (NOT aliases!)
- #IMAP / #SMTP, the whole alphabet, I want to use #Thunderbird.
- Not "one of the big guys" like Google/Microsoft/Yahoo/WhatHaveYou
- Protonmail is... Not sure, but their "email addresses" === aliases
- I'm going to have to stick with #SelfHosted am I not?

@protonprivacy We are also looking for a #Senior #Android #engineer: https://grnh.se/2ik1dfd2teu in either #London or #Geneva.

We are ramping up on the development of new #ProtonCalendar apps, written in #Rust using #UniFFI and other goodies... so please share this widely if you know someone who is looking!

We sometimes hire #remote candidates as well, but not often. Everyone is in #Europe, plus/minus 1 timezone. I enjoy this so much: no more late-night meetings with California 😸

@protonprivacy We're also #hiring #juniors: https://grnh.se/tfdgi4f2teu, this time in #Skopje, #Barcelona, and #Prague.

This is for the #ProtonMail Inbox team (an umbrella for Mail and #ProtonCalendar where I sit). The Desktop team covers things like #MailBridge, a tool that allows you to setup a local #SMTP and #IMAP server which will transparently decrypt your emails *locally* and let you connect a regular #email client like #Thunderbird or #Outlook. This is #OpenSource: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge!

ImapGoose look and feel real nice for syncing #IMAP #mailboxes:

https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/ImapGoose

I have had isync setup for the same task once, and tried a while back getting it set up again, but ran out of spoons. It's needlessly complicated for my needs.

ImapGooset is a pleasure, took me about 15 minutes to build and configure. What a joy.

Atelier #Thunderbird à #PSESQ avec @vieveca ; quelqu'un sait-il comment activer #IMAP sur un compte #Orange quand la personne n'est pas chez elle (et donc pas connectée via sa Livebox et Orange refuse « pour des raisons de sécurité »)

Edit : le mot important est « activer ». IMAP n'est pas actif par défaut sur un compte mail Orange (et c'est documenté sur assistance.orange.fr). Il faut d'abord l'activer sur son espace client (Web) et c'est là que ça coince.

So I guess I either try courier-imap server or cyrus-imapd. Not sure of the differences between the two or whether one is better than the other.

Meme about two red buttons, one marked 'Courier-imap' and the other is 'cyrus-imapd' and our superhero who is the sysadmin running dovecot currently struggling to choose and sweating.
