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!


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?
https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ has some email clients listed, and you can see what is Open-Source and Free.
I think Thunderbird is the only option that is on iOS. Would be very interested if there are others that I missed.
I don’t think it’s available on ios unfortunately
Right it isn’t… the website is wrong then. I’ll look to fix that.
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.
