I used to be a self-hoster for my E-mail, but I've recently switched to Fastmail, and I've been fairly happy with it. It's not free, but it's not very expensive either. It offers both POP and IMAP as well as webmail and some useful privacy features (and my wife likes the fact they're Aussie, even if they're in Melbourne ;). I don't get a commission; I'm just a satisfied customer. My usual mail client is Thunderbird on Linux and macOS, but I see people using all kinds of clients with it. https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/ -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Computers are like air conditioners.

Re: OT: mail provider recommendation
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch! What did you think would happen with large free email hosts? They round up all the clients and then do what they like with them. Google mines emails for data. I use a private (paid) service via my web site host. I’ve been using it since around 1996. They haven’t changed much over the decades and they do NOT mine my emails! > On Jun 10, 2022, at 10:01 PM, Carlos Murillo via cctalk > wrote: > > My apologies for asking such an OT question, but I think you guys are the > most likely to make really useful suggestions. > > Gmail has ceased to provide classic authorization for smtp, pop3 or IMAP > access; they want users to employ their new authorization mechanisms.

OT: mail provider recommendation
My apologies for asking such an OT question, but I think you guys are the most likely to make really useful suggestions. Gmail has ceased to provide classic authorization for smtp, pop3 or IMAP access; they want users to employ their new authorization mechanisms. So, which email service do you guys recommend? I'd like to be able to access it in the old classic way, from different clients. Ideally it would be a free service (I don't store my messages on the server, but rather, download them to my client, so I don't need a lot of storage), and also likely to remain in operation for many years to come. Thanks in advance, Carlos Murillo.
