#CyrusIMAP 3.12.0 RC1 has been released (#CyrusIMAPd / #Cyrus / #IMAPd / #MailServer / #MessageDeliveryAgent / #IMAP / #InternetMessageAccessProtocol / #POP3 / #PostOfficeProtocol / #JMAP / #JSONMetaApplicationProtocol / #SASL / #CyrusSASL / #CarnegieMellonUniversity / #Fastmail) https://cyrusimap.org/

I was really confused when my emails from Fastmail landed in the SPAM Bin. Turned out I'm not alone. To fix it, it seems you need to add a DMARC record.

If you're on Fastmail, I urge you to check it out.

Hey @thunderbird

If you want, you can try out #alectors, my NLRL library, for #spam or #fraud #detection on #emails for #thundermail.

Check it out at https://apotheke.earth/docs/alectors

It uses a pretrained #encoder to embed natural language into vector space, and then passes the vectors through a #transformer-based PPO agent, so that the output can have a custom number of dimentions. This means that rather than having an #LLM agent with a #prompt "[...] PLEASE OUTPUT PROPER JSON [...]", you can ensure that the output will be one of three, four, or as many actions.as you define.

The only downside is that you will have to train the agent yourself, as we as come up with an environment (I am working with a friend/colleague on custom nlrl env api, but its pre-prealpha).

Concerning the license, it is #sourcefirst, meaning that it has a clause for #fair #compensation regardimg #commercial #use. For this usecase, by #thunderbird, I would be perfectly happy with simply a #thundermail account so I can leave #fastmail and still use all two of my domains for email.

I have been supremely content with the quality of service, meaningful & extensive features, + beta innovation engagment.
Repeat renewal of subscription over many years…

So #FastMail is great overall, but I'm having pretty serious problems with it sending too much to spam.

Receipts, email validations, shipping notifications, it's gotten much worse. Years ago, I rarely had to check spam, maybe once or twice a month and I'd catch a couple things. Now I have to check ALL the time. And when I tell it something doesn't belong, it doesn't learn. A day or two later I find that same sender back in spam again. I'm getting tired.

I’m poking around in #infomaniak email service and it is fantastic! I could have a separate user for my #selfhosted services who don’t have access to my personal emails. Nice web interface and very nice mobile app. I think I want to migrate from #Fastmail to have my emails in Europe. Also this is a good opportunity to also move my main email address into my personal domain, so I don’t bound to a specific email provider.

What value do you guys see in regard to using an email client like #Thunderbird vs using a webmail client like #Fastmail via a browser tab?

My requirements are super basic. I mostly receive email and occasionally send some. I don't have any sort of complex organization structure. I don't send or receive encrypted email.

Is there some feature that I'm thinking about?

After using Proton for 8 months, I made the move from #Proton 🠆 #Fastmail.

My thoughts:

I love that Proton apps are open-source, this is a big win for me.

Server-side Encryption - In theory this is a good idea, in practice this is a huge pain. On mobile, you're forced to use the Proton app, which is unbelievably slow. On desktop, you cannot verify senders with DKIM.
Proton leadership supports what Trump is doing to the US, while not my reason for leaving, it gave me doubts about Proton.

So I've left #fastmail and am now on #tuta. This was a long decision making process and I nearly went with #mailbox.org and #posteo, but for me #tuta fits the bill. I don't need IMAP or SMTP. The tuta app works fine and so does the web interface. I chose tuta because it's does things differently and it's clear that privacy and security are the priority.

Fastmail was and is a perfectly good email provider, they just don't give me the same peace of mind, nor privacy features.
