#ADHD folks & #minimalism fans with overflowing #email inboxes (or some #GNOME devs with too many mailing lists & bug tracker emails) might be pleased to discover that @EvolutionGnome has a secret gsetting (that you can toggle in dconf-editor) to disable unread mail counts for folders in the sidebar: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evoluti…
Because what's the point of knowing you have 787 unread emails instead of 785, anyway?
Wish I had per-folder notifications to go with that: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evoluti…

The mail-notification plugin allows account-granularity exclusions, but not folder-granularity. I've cooked up a first draft patch (see attached) that implements the latter, while retaining the former. It's not...GitLab
Fully appreciating that the people who see this are unlikely to be representative of the general population, I ask this nevertheless:
Do you, currently, run your own email server, without significant problems with email deliverability?
(I am asking because, so often, one hears that it is not possible, so I wonder how many other people here are successfully doing the impossible :))
- Yes (32%, 53 votes)
- No (55%, 92 votes)
- I have an answer which, despite it being a yes/no question, is not covered by "yes" or "no" (12%, 20 votes)
Hum, are we the only cross-platform messenger project present in 15+ app stores that primarily announces on, and interacts with, the Fediverse while others use X and maybe Bluesky? If you know of others please mention them in the replies :)
In any case, we are pretty happy here, as we are finding meaningful interactions, and organically evolving interest and collaboration with other people and projects. Probably it helps that #email shares several traits with #ActivityPub protocols? Cheers.
And @Mozilla and @thunderbird keep ignoring it. #thunderbird #ux #email #linux
'thunderbird.tmp' folder in '~/Download' directory?
Thank you for your reply. I did some internet search and found that many other snaps are also affected by this “design”, most notably Firefox. There they also had endless debates about $DOWNLOAD/firefox.tmp.snapcraft.io
OK nerds, what's the best email client on Linux?
I'm interested in both GUI and terminal email clients. I consider them to be in separate categories, not competing with one another.
Until recently I've just been using Gmail webmail + official clients because I'm a creature of habit, but I'm trying to transition away from Google. Currently experimenting with Migadu for email hosting.
EDIT: My goal is self-hosting, so no Proton or Tuta. (Also encrypted email is a bad idea.)
@Tutanota Apparently #tuta still hasn't set a concrete, near term date for the availability of the *option to export all emails in one go* .
So: Customers can easily import their emails to #Tutamail, but they have to manually select and export all of their emails if they want to migrate away to a different #email provider.
To me, that looks like a vendor lock-in.
You can keep on telling that it's already planned, but you should really walk the talk!
I know that Tuta has been planning it for years. But that wasn't my question.

Important reminder, if you own a domain name and don't use it for sending email.
There is nothing to stop scammers from sending email claiming to be coming from your domain. And the older it gets, the more valuable it is for spoofing. It could eventually damage your domain's reputation and maybe get it blacklisted, unless you take the steps to notify email servers that any email received claiming to come from your domain should be trashed.
Just add these two TXT records to the DNS for your domain:
TXT v=spf1 -all
TXT v=DMARC1; p=reject;
The first says there is not a single SMTP server on earth authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. The second says that any email that says otherwise should be trashed.
If you do use your domain for sending email, be sure to add 3 records:
SPF record to indicate which SMTP server(s) are allowed to send your email.
DKIM records to add a digital signature to emails, allowing the receiving server to verify the sender and ensure message integrity.
DMARC record that tells the receiving email server how to handle email that fails either check.
You cannot stop scammers from sending email claiming to be from your domain, any more than you can prevent people from using your home address as a return address on a mailed letter. But, you can protect both your domain and intended scam victims by adding appropriate DNS records.
UPDATE: The spf and the dmarc records need to be appropriately named. The spf record should be named "@", and the dmarc record name should be "_dmarc".
Here's what I have for one domain.
One difference that I have is that I'm requesting that email providers email me a weekly aggregated report when they encounter a spoof. gmail and Microsoft send them, but most providers won't, but since most email goes to Gmail, it's enlightening when they come.

@thunderbird Hey Thunderbird!
So the Android app is finally there. Yay! Job well done! And the export QR code is visible, too!
Buuuut. On the very same email Server, with the very same connection options, 1 account can be exported, 3 are not shown. The only difference? The Username and password.
Is this known?

Nice write-up over on @ZDNet for @thunderbird Appointment. We're so glad to see appreciation for this open source scheduling tool - and we're just getting started.
I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).
