I’ve never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.
I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL 💥 FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I’m gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.
I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?
If you buy your own domain, you can connect it to an account like Proton or Tuta, making your personal email a little more portable. Last I checked, .nl domains were like $6 or $7 per year on Namecheap. And I’m pretty sure you can link both Proton and Tuta to a Thunderbird client if you really want to. You may need a paid account with the email provider if you want to link a custom domain, I can’t recall offhand.
Proton Mail kind of supports Thunderbird on their paid plans by using the bridge which acts as a local mail server which can then be used in Thunderbird. Tuta does not support Thunderbird at all. Lock-in is the biggest downside of these encrypted email providers.
Ah ok thank you, I have the paid Proton so I had a feeling there were complications outside that space but wasn’t sure
