Privacy-focused mail providers (FOSS preferred)?
Hi all,
We’re looking to get off Rackspace’s email as the Spam filtering is pure garbage. We’re going to avoid the Googles and MS’s of the world, and I’m wondering if this community has suggestions for mail providers that run FOSS services (and are public about that via support), and/or are privacy focused. Note: Proton is a no-go due to having to run an IMAP middle-man service.
Thanks!
disroot web mail service is a reasonable choice as it is fully opensource and run by the community for the community. It has a pretty well IMAP support.Since it is fully funded by the community sometimes the server can go down for long time (Hardware cost is high due to dam ai and greedy corporate) so be aware of that also If your using it for buisness make sure to donate to them and apply for extra storage request and custom domain support is available.Also you have to wait for approval while registering due to the spam they are undergoing. One important thing is it lacks e2ee but its privacy focused so no need to worry.They even have an .onion site.Their website is disroot.org.Lastly the registration will not be available during the week ends.I Forgot to mention that the disroot app(mostly user maual) is available only in android fdroid or apk no play store app(which is good).
I second this recommendation. I don’t use the Disroot app on my phone, but they also offer a bunch of other great apps beyond emails in case you are interested. You can check them on their website. They’re all FOSS and free to use. Most of them don’t even require an account.
Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately as this is for business, this one probably won’t work for us.
They’re also a Dutch non-profit organization, and both their services and their infra are all developed/maintained in the open using exclusively open-source projects.
