Uso tres #webmail que gestiono de forma centralitzada amb #Gmail, afegint comptes, que em descarrego amb #pop3. Envio i rebo correus. Però voldria deixar d'usar #Gmail. Sé que amb #Thunderbird ho podria fer, però hauria de funcionar amb #Imap, i la sincronització no m'acaba mai de funcionar mai del tot bé.

Bona gent, sabeu de serveis de correu web que permetin fer el mateix que fa #Gmail?

🧵 2/5 Further, the “native” connection to EWS/OWA within Thunderbird is only available in 140 when you enable a custom setting (search for “ews”). What you see in the new Account Hub will depend on whether that custom setting is enabled.

🧵 3/5 Right now, Exchange requires add-ons to work. Usually this means TbSync or OWL. Each of these has its own set of features and limitations to consider. Account Hub will show you Exchange in two flavors… one says “add-on required” and the other doesn’t. It’s the latter one that is the native integration in experimental form at this time (and does email ONLY for now).

🧵 4/5 Until now, I have been using IMAP+SMTP, and TbSync for address books and calendars. After going through a few iterations, I have now settled on using Exchange (native, experimental) accounts (yes, plural) for email and sticking with TbSync for calendars and address books.

Free m'a bloqué les ports #IMAP et #SMTP, et refuse de les réouvrir. Je vous raconte.

Je fais un peu de #autohébergement sur mon serveur, et derniièrement, j'y ai installé #docker-mailserver

je configure #thunderbird , tout fonctionne nickel, et au bout d'un moment, impossible d'envoyer des emails ou d'en recevoir
Il se trouve que #Free a bloqué le port 25
En 5G par contre, pas de probléme

Et le support a rejeté ma demande

Please #retoot en espérant atteindre quelqu'un de Free 🙏

@hanscees oh, me too. I have a PhD in CS. My mate hosts my e-mail, which I access via #IMAP. Trying to host calendars and contacts there would be another option.

#Apple #Mail is somehow currently also fucking up… deleting messages on one device isn't reflected on others until you quit Mail.

Anybody ever had problems with an #iphone and #IMAP on a #selfhosted #email server? Feel free to boost for fun.

I was just helping my wife and her mail app (iPhone 13, iOS 18.3.2) would just spin saying “connecting”. I’m standing next to her, with my iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.3.2 and I’m on the same WiFi checking email on the same server just fine.

I tried a bunch of things. Rebooting, using cellular data instead of WiFi, closing the mail app and opening it again. Nothing fixed it. The root cause seems to have been low power mode. Her battery was low; so the phone was in low power mode. I plugged it in, took it out of low power mode, and poof! Mail connects just fine.

This is reproducible. If I go to low power mode and pull down on the screen to try to fetch, no imap. It just spins saying “connecting.” Come out of low power mode, imap is fine and fast. One thing we both do that is not the default is fetch email. The default is to push, and the phone polls quite often. I figure that’s a waste of battery, so we have ours set to fetch every 30 minutes. I’m a bit of a nut, so there are probably LOTS of other things that are not the default.

Anybody have any ideas?

I’m sure all of us have used low power mode before, and I’m fairly sure I’ve checked email under low power mode. I’ve never seen this before. #selfhosting

@ndw I've been a happy customer of #Fastmail (they're on Mastodon, too: @fastmail) since January 2018, and can comfortably recommend them if you're looking for a solid email host.
They're based in #Australia, and have full support for #IMAP, #CalDAV, #CardDAV, as-well as #JMAP if your tool(s) supports that. I like that they only do email and do it well. No ever-expanding product suite of tools I don't really need, nor any confusion on who the customer is. Nice and straight-forward :).

What an unfortunate name…

STARTTLS has the innate issue that it is an upgrade of a plaintext session. Anything before TLS initiation can be sniffed off the wire. Unavoidable given the *purpose* of STARTTLS. It allows TLS to be used without dedicating a port to it. It is the ONLY way that mail *transit* is encrypted. *Nothing* there justifies non-support of STARTTLS.

The rest of the issues there are old & implementation-specific.

#Google's form of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish."
They want standalone MUAs gone. So does MS and so does Yahoo. If you use a standard protocol like #IMAP which has no owner, you break their business model for email, which is tracking & advertising-based. So they have each done violence to IMAP in their implementations such that a serious email user MUST occasionally go through their web interface, even if only to authenticate for an OAUTH2 token. And a few cookies... social.vmbrasseur.com/@vmbrass

VMB SocialVM (Vicky) Brasseur (@vmbrasseur@social.vmbrasseur.com)Google's #IMAP implementation is such rubbish. I keep forgetting until the next time I work somewhere that uses Google Workplace (or whatever they're calling it today), then I'm disappointed all over again. Standards? Bah! We don’ need no stinkin' standards.

Weird thing just happened when checking my work #GMail account using a regular (not GMail) #IMAP client on my phone. I have a whole bunch of mail rules and folders. When I checked one of the folders, a load of messages from Google Alerts were immediately visible. Then all the other messages not from #Google slowly loaded and filled in, in between.

That would only happen if GMail was handling mail delivery differently for its own messages to email messages from other mail providers, right? 🤔

Did you know that Apple iOS doesn't support IMAP IDLE? macOS does, but not iOS. iOS only fetches from your server a few times per hour. I’d periodically open the Mail app to watch it fetch new email. Lame. What if one of those had been important?

Did you also know there’s a plug-in for the Dovecot IMAP server that will send an Apple push notification every time you get a new email, triggering an immediate fetch? Apple uses this to add that Exchange-like magic to iCloud’s IMAP servers, but someone made their own open-source implementation.

I tried setting it all up, but after running into problems with the documentation, I decided it was time to blog about it, so that you can do it, too. colincogle.name/push
