We are not aware of other FOSS development teams that have as extensive knowledge, both theoretical and practical, about #email and #openpgp and regularly release across all platforms for users world wide ... except for #protonmail with whose technical and security experts we discuss regularly. They are the other major game in town doing pervasive email encryption after all. Did you know that Proton's and delta's VCards are compatible across ecosystems and establish immediate encryption?


I keep getting errors while trying to use my uni MS account with Thunderbird. :blobcatangry:

I don't really want to make use of the nuclear waste that it's Outlook.

Aparenty this is a known issue? Idk.

Friday pro tip: If you don’t check your emails, they don’t exist until Monday. 😎

#Friday #Email #Mail #Apps #Browser #Productivity #Software #Browsers


our general approach is that we only use a reasonable *subset* of the standards. Both #email and #OpenPGP specifications contain a lot of flexibility that has caused many past projects to drown in complexity. We avoid that by thinking about and steering developments starting from the desired UX/UI we want to offer. UX/UI-first if you will ;)

Outlook ist ein sehr weit verbreitetes Email-Programm. Und ja, es kann noch viel mehr als nur Email. Ich stimme auch damit überein, dass es für die allermeisten Privatpersonen zu umfangreich ist. Aber wenn man es schon im Einsatz hat, muss man sich auch mit Problemen herumschlagen. Das liegt in der Natur der Sache. Und so müssen wir uns einfach mal kurz darüber unterhalten, was man machen kann, wenn die Anzahl der ungelesenen Emails fehlt. […]

These clowns are just winging it, throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks. Now that they are faced with a lawsuit over this email fiasco with attorneys claiming it as illegal.

"OPM tells federal agencies that responses to Musk email are voluntary."

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-administration-news-02-24-25#cm7jk8dnq00003b6snb9f2j3v

That guidance runs counter to what Elon Musk said, which was that "failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

DOGE Email Throws Federal Agencies Into Chaos & Confusion
https://www.wired.com/story/doge-elon-musk-federal-workers-chaos-confusion/

" #Musk has publicly presented himself as responsible for the #email... source of the forced resignation threat—it’s unclear under what authority he would be able to fire federal employees at will over an email response...

“Musk has no actual or formal authority to make #government decisions himself,” the director of the #WhiteHouse Office of Administration wrote in a sworn statement."

DOGE Email Throws Federal Agencies Into Chaos and Confusion

Across the US government, workers failed to get clear guidance on whether or how to respond to an email asking what they did this week, despite Elon Musk’s claim that their jobs are at risk.

Move fast and break people

For Elon Musk's government, the psychological warfare is the point.

"there has been a concerted effort to test the limits of what #government workers can mentally handle...

The sending of the 5 bullets #email... federal workers trying to quickly understand... whether a post on X was legally binding.

...its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers...

the psychological toll is ongoing"

When Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees arrived at work on a recent frigid day in Washington, DC, they found a long, snaking line outside the building where they typically breeze through security. The department’s new secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was coming to address them that day and they figured that must explain the more than hour-long wait to get into their offices. But no, they would soon learn: With the required return to office, this was just how it was going to be. “Plan and dress accordingly so you don't end up like me, standing outside in a sweater and freezing!,” one manager advised.

Since the moment Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States and with him elevated billionaire Elon Musk to chief decision maker, there has been a concerted effort to test the limits of what government workers can mentally handle.

Federal employees told to justify jobs in email or Musk says they face dismissal
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/politics/elon-musk-employees-emails

"But several #NationalSecurity agencies, including the #FBI, and multiple other federal depts, advised staffers not to respond to the #email... suggesting that the broader executive branch was not informed of nor prepared for the demand.

The email came from the Office of Personnel Management’s new HR email address but had no signature."

List accomplishments or resign, Musk tells US federal workers
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr72n1yyj30o

"US #government workers received an #email on Saturday afternoon... shortly after #Trump spoke at #CPAC...

employees were asked to explain their accomplishments from the past week in five bullet points... before midnight on Monday.

👀 ...Newly-confirmed #FBI director #KashPatel told his employees... that they should "pause any responses" to the #OPM memo."👀 ‼️

Text from article:
The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union representing federal employees, criticised the message as "cruel and disrespectful" and vowed to challenge any "unlawful terminations" of federal employees.

"Once again, Elon Musk and the Trump Administration have shown their utter disdain for federal employees and the critical services they provide to the American people," Everett Kelley, union president, said in a statement.

On Sunday morning, Musk wrote on his social media platform X that "a large number of responses have been received already", adding: "These are the people who should be considered for promotion."

Newly-confirmed FBI director Kash Patel told his employees in an email that they should "pause any responses" to the OPM memo.

"FBI personnel may have received an email from OPM requesting information," Patel wrote in a message obtained by CBS News. "The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, and will conduct reviews in accordance with the FBI procedures." [Looks like some infighting in the Trump admin is coming. ::eats popcorn::]

😜 Are they rebelling against the extreme tactic or because they really didn't do anything of value at work last week?

"Key agencies, including some led by Trump loyalists, refuse to comply with Musk’s latest demand"

https://apnews.com/article/musk-federal-workers-trump-demand-firings-06553df358086db05917d3c50f3699d6

Key U.S. agencies, including the FBI and State Department, have instructed their employees not to comply with cost-cutting chief Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers explain what they accomplished last week — or risk losing their jobs.

Der Kontinent, in dem über 95% der Besucher meinen Blog lesen, macht sich ja derzeit ziemlich gerade. Was wäre also mit einer Europa IT? Können wir in Europa das liefern, was wir derzeit aus Asien und aus den USA an Informatik beziehen? Bei manchen Dingen macht man sich da eher wenig Gedanken, manche Dinge sind aber – weil wir Europäer ziemlich bequem sind – schon ein ziemliche Kraftakt, der uns da bevorsteht. Aber er ist dann vielleicht auch eine Chance, sich endlich mal abzunabeln.

Isn't it poetic and ironic that out of all possible time lines we are in one where #securejoin #openpgp protocols on top of the existing #email protocols offer the arguably most solidly scaling, useable, world-wide federated end-to-end encrypted messaging reality, safe against compromised #mitm servers? Hundreds of billions spend to create "the email successor" and here we are in 2025 .... #interoperable #email and #cryptography as the tortoise looking at Achilles through the back mirror :)

This is going to be a big job.

Can anyone recommend an ethical and quality #email client?

Please share so I can get a good range of opinions.

#TIL that #Thunderbird lets me set #filters to move an #email to a particular place *when* I archive it, rather than immediately! So I can still read the emails as they come in, and then hit "archive" to have them automagically filed away 📁️

There are other triggers too, besides "as soon as the email comes in" and "when I archive" that I haven't explored yet. Thunderbird rocks! :thunderbird: ✨️

Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

«5 Ways Delta Chat is Better than WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram»

No, @delta is not the most secure chat solution per se, but it is definitely an alternative if people send you emails because (for whatever reason) they do not use encrypted communication or use emails like chats.

Therapists of the fediverse: how do you communicate safely with clients or other professionals privacy-wise?

How do you organise this communication in a way so that no-one - including police - can steal it?

Are you using encrypted computers and #email or #messengers with #e2e #encryption? - If so, what messengers or method are you using?

Are you storing documents in a safe? If so, where and what brand?

What is feasible, what is practical?

Ich baue meine Korrespondenz um. Und das hat seinen Grund. Mir gehen die US-Konzerne auf den Geist, und das akzeptiere ich nicht mehr. Ich will nicht mehr gegängelt werden, nur um dann festzustellen, dass diese Giganten doch wieder alles so machen, wie sie wollen, aber nicht wie es die Kunden wollen. Und weil ich die Möglichkeiten nun einmal habe, ziehe ich so nach und nach meinen gesamten Email-Verkehr um. So viel macht man ja heutzutage eh nicht mehr. Aber das, was noch ist, hole ich heim.

Email aliasing: Are these my "best" options?

-DuckDuckGo (big corporation, dabbling in AI)
-Simple Login (Proton, whose CEO is being weird)
-addy dot io (there were some posts on here awhile back about why the io domain is shitty but it doesn't look like I bookmarked any of them, the gist was imperialism so I like to avoid the domain)
-figuring out how to generate them using an email provider itself (clunky, usually end up with really long addresses, may not even hide your original address, may only be able to generate a limited number which kinda defeats the purpose for me because I want single-use ones)
