The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!

    Migadu is also an excellent option, especially if you want to run multiple domains.

    Their approach to not giving a shit about your total amount of mailboxes, or amount of domains you use, and only care about the amount of email you send and receive (which isn’t strictly enforced anyway) is fantastic.

    I’ve got 4 family members on my plan. All of which fit nicely in their cheapest plan since they’re firstname@lastname emails that aren’t used for spam signups.

      Migadu

      Will look to include them! Looks like an excellent choice for a straightforward email provider. Thanks for the suggestion.

      I too use Migadu and had no issues so far. The client I use the most is ThunderBird, but it doesn’t matter which is used.

      Although ThunderBird is not on iOS, got any recommendations for a FLOSS client on that platform?

        Whenever i use iOS I just use the default apple mail app. Sadly it doesn’t do PGP, and no FOSS email app for iOS does as far as I know… So most of my important email is unreadable anyway.

        Hopefully Thunderbird for iOS will be available soon.
