Have you already switched your Gmail to a new e-mail provider?

If no, what are you waiting for? 😀

If yes, which one? Was it difficult to migrate? Do you like the design of your new providers interface? Do you find it easy to use? Are you happy with it?

Tell us more about your experience!

• Yes, full migration (Gmail deleted) (24%, 54 votes)
• Yes, but I'll keep my Gmail for a while (46%, 103 votes)
• No, but I plan to do soon (8%, 19 votes)
• Not yet, I don't know which alternative to choose (16%, 37 votes)
• No, I'm satisfied with Gmail (4%, 10 votes)

First, they shut down the Basic HTML site, forcing many of us to switch to clients such as Thunderbird. Now, they're using qr codes which are not only inaccessible to the blind but also to those who don't use smartphones! This is ridiculous! Yes, they do still have the option to click whether it's you trying to sign in or not (which still requires a smartphone and a carrier, which they claim to be concerned about), but how long before they remove that, too?

Häufig erreichte mich die Frage, ob der Beitrag zu Gmail noch zutrifft – und die Antwort lautet: Ja! Google, beziehungsweise Gmail, liest weiterhin eure E-Mails. Das betrifft nicht nur eure eigenen Nachrichten, sondern auch E-Mails von Absendern, die selbst kein Gmail-Konto haben, aber an eine Gmail-Adresse senden. 👇

***** Google Gemini Gmail WARNING *****

Damned #Google is now pushing their invasive AI crap Gemini onto the Desktop version of #Gmail, with no apparent way for individual users to disable it (Admins for commercial users apparently do have a toggle). The Gemini sucker icon appears as a four-pointed "sprite" next to the settings gear. If you hover on it, you'll see a "Try Gemini" tooltip. DO NOT CLICK ON IT, unless you want Google's horrific lying, fascism-ridden misinformation machine sucking up your emails.

NOTE: Again, there is no apparent way for individual user to disable this. The sprite appears even if you have all Gmail "Smart" features disabled.

This is Google blatantly trying to force this garbage on users who have no idea what it is and how much damage it can do to them, presumably as a first step toward pushing their "AI Agents" to take control of your browsing. Of course, if this is your kink, go ahead and chain yourself to Gemini. But you've been warned.

#Gemini denies using private emails in #Gmail

Yet, the bot itself says otherwise:

Intentional or not, as a gatekeeper #Google must offer fair competition for our private email service Tuta Mail - a direct competitor to #Gmail.

It's 2024 and #Google is now requiring bulk #email senders to use DMARC, SPF, & DKIM when emailing #Gmail users. 👍

This is a great step, BUT why did they allow bulk senders to send #spam emails without proper #security standards until now? 🤔

#Tuta #Gmail #Privacy

Last week we fell for a stupid #Gmail hoax.

We'd like to apologize for sharing this image without fact checking first.

Particularly with the rise of #AI it's important that we all stay vigilant & not fall for #FakeNews.

#FreedomOfSpeech matters, but so does the #truth.

2024 is the year to drop Big Tech for good. Let's start with #gmail !

👉 tuta.com/blog/how-to-delete-gm…

#NewYearsResolution #BigTech #opensource

#Google is turning #GMail from an Email provider into a website.
No more access via standard email protocols such as #IMAP and #POP

The final stage of #enshittification . Locking the users in.

I wonder how they want to get rid of SMTP as stated in the support posting.
I guess this means outgoing SMTP to forward mail to a real email server.

I guess without relaying I won't ever receive any notifications Google services send to me again as I don't use the Gmail website.
I host my own Email server for many years, thank you.

Timeline for transition

Summer of 2024:

If you (or your users) try to connect to a less secure app for the first time, you will not be able to. This restriction includes third-party apps that still use basic authentication, such as CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, SMTP, and POP, to access Gmail, Google Calendar, and Contacts. If you’re not trying to connect for the first time, you will be able to continue using the apps until they’re turned off.
In the Google Admin console, you will not be able to access the turn on and off setting for less secure apps.
Users will not be able to turn IMAP on or off in their Gmail settings.

This Friday, #Google starts mass deleting old #Gmail accounts, but will they also recycle unused email addresses❓

Find out how to stop this:
tuta.com/blog/google-deletes-i… 💪

Yet, most people are not worried about their unused Gmail being deleted, but annoyed by receiving too many emails. Plus Google is constantly increasing the amount of annoying ads.

If you are one of many ready to leave Google, you can start looking for a private Gmail alternative!

If you do 1 thing today, use @Tutanota and forward your #gmail and #hotmail to your new inbox. Take back your mailbox!

For your second thing, switch to an encrypted messenger like #Signal and get your friends and family on it. It's so easy.

The "New Outlook" demands that when adding your #Gmail account, you also give Microsoft a copy of all your Gmail email, contacts, and calendar data.

The "Learn More" link confirms:

"Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers."

WOW.

Good time to switch to @thunderbird, folks!

Yes, Gmail absolutely makes it difficult to get reliable delivery to Gmail users if you're not on Gmail or one of the other big webmail providers.

My server has never sent spam, ever.
It's had the same IP address for 15 years.
It's not on the DUL or any other list.
It is properly configured for and uses SMTP STARTTLS, DKIM, and SPF.
It has restrictive policies for SPF and DMARC and advertises as such.
It passes all validators.

And deliverability to #Gmail is a complete crapshoot.

BREAKING: #Google to start deleting unused #email accounts so other people can use them.

🤔 What could possibly go wrong?

🤦‍♂️ Techbros are (still) idiots.
