Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
To make your point even better, $200 is a bit on the high side for 3TB. I usually budget $25/TB. So I'd be looking more in the $75 range for a 3TB drive.
[Trisquel-users] Re : An alternative to gmail
E-mails do not take much space. Here is the space occupied by more than 62,000 e-mails I sent and received along the last 8.5 years: $ du -sh ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/ 6,1G/home/banana/.local/share/evolution/mail/ It is nothing when compared to the size of a modern disk. And those disks have become quite cheap: nowadays, US$ 200 are enough to buy a USB 3 external hard drive with 3TB of space (~500 times the space the 62,000 e-mails occupy). Where do you backup? Backups are a must!
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
thanks now I have Enigmail and Icedove completely configured and usable. Many thanks to all the forum guys.
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
If I choose POP3 all the email will be in my disks! I assume that from time to time I'll have to wipe out my folder because I have very limited storage in my computer. How so you manage it? If you could give me an hint. Many thanks in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel repository in Debian
Please see this thread/comment: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/no-grub-file#comment-105636
Re: [Trisquel-users] No grub file
I understand that my explanations so far are not very clear. Let me try like this: I have an x200 on which Minifree has installed libreboot. I have successfully installed Debian with full disk encryption by this guide at: https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_debian.html I have successfully booted and is now with no issues as such running Debian with Cinnamon. The next step is to modify GRUB, but I don't understand the guide: https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html I see others find it straightforward but I don't (due to my lack of knowledge and skills). It seems that 1st option should be the easier, but it requires knowledge about how to "create your custom GRUB configuration". My distribution (Deb8) did not "automatically generate a libreboot_grub.cfg file". Can I just create one by means of Gedit? Can I create one and end it with a link to the original grub file?
[Trisquel-users] Re : An alternative to gmail
Enigmail & gnupg2 are in the trisquel repo via your synaptic package manager :) thats all you need for Enignmail then the wizzards does it for you ;-) https://enigmail.wiki/
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Of course I am! Reading it right now... Today I installed Gnupg in the sequence of have installed and configure Icedove (not done yet some other programs are needed and are not in the trisquel repositories, so I have to do the installation manually, so I guess I'll have to postpone the Enigmail installation). But yes, I am educating my self on this Gnupg and private/public keys things, very important things! many thanks for the precious links there!

Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Nice list there. It's allways good to know. But I think I'll use that of the IceDove with email encription using gpg as sugested by onpon4. It's always something better than my actual position. Many thanks and still is a good link these one!
