Disclaimer: New to lemmy and still figuring it out. Sorry if I did everything wrong, please be gentle.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an email app that doesn’t data mine or whatever. I’m in the process of transitioning to the fediverse and purging shitty, morally dubious companies from my life. Currently weening off Google. I have a duckduckgo email relay, but I want to get Google completely off my phone.
Thunderbird is perfect in my experience, both for desktop and mobile
+1 for Thunderbird. I’ve deployed it in enterprise environments too.
If you’d rather something more integrated into the OS (non-windows). Kmail and Apple mail work reasonably well.
Thunderbird on Desktop, and K9 on mobile
Regarding e-mail provider, I used to recommend proton, but they end-up supporting the current US administration like anyone else, so I would say buy a domain and use the associated e-mail
k-9 mail is good
I like Proton. It’s secure, with end-to-end encryption. It is web-based, just like Google, so accessible anywhere. It has an eye-pleasing design. And it’s based in Europe.
I was looking at that one, thanks!
I use Evolution on desktop, and don’t have an email app on my phone. Email is for longer texts that require thought, and a proper keyboard. If it’s urgent, text me or call.
Yes, I’m old.
I use Fastmail with a custom domain for hosting, and FairEmail as my Android app and Thunderbird as my desktop client. Pretty happy with that setup, the apps don’t do any data mining and are fully open source
Fastmail is open source?
Sorry, worded that somewhat confusingly. FairEmail and Thunderbird are both open source apps that I use as clients for my Fastmail account, which probably isn’t open source (I haven’t checked)
