Gmail for Android should be one of the best email apps on the platform. However, I tried using it in 2024, and it is actually terrible.
Not only do I not use Gmail, but I also run my own mail, calendar, and contacts servers. It’s not for everyone, but I have control of all my stuff going back to 1997.
How’re you handling DMARC and SPF?
Opendkim on sendmail and, uh, DNS records. I used dmarcian for a bit to analyze dmarc but after awhile there’s no point.
Thank you. I’m using dockermail and cloudflare DNS records.
I stopped clicking on android authority links after they faked a drop test to make an iPhone look good
That said, what are people using nowadays or what. I tried skiff earlier this year and then it almost immediately announced they were stopping their email service
I can’t imagine the stress if I’d had anything important I needed to transfer to another email. I mean, besides losing everything of course
Edit: relevant absolutely ridiculous, watching it again. No shame! I wonder if they ever even addressed it
On that note, what are some decent email providers? I’m using Gmail for all the corporate bs (e.g., Steam, Discord, etc.)
I switched to proton mail about 3 months ago since I was already using proton VPN and pass and I’m very happy with it so far. If you use pass + mail you can easily create website-specific aliases (automatically or with a few button presses) so you don’t expose your own email, and if you start getting spam you’ll know exactly who sold your email.
Primary downside is that since all of your mail is encrypted, on mobile you can only use the official proton mail app, not any third party apps. On desktop there is a bridge app that lets you use others though (I personally use thunderbird)
I had a free ProtonMail account I haven’t been using, so I’ll have to pick it back up. I did manage after a few attempts to properly configure Thunderbird, at least for my mail. Couldn’t get it up and running on the Calendar side.

Gonna get shot for this but i really like outlook.
I wouldn’t shoot you, but I’d turn the other way if someone uh…led you on a poorly chosen hike. 😆
Lol as long as it’s peaceful until the end that sounds fine.
I’m interested to hear what everyone uses as an alternative.
I use K-9 mail (its on F-droid too).
Its soon to be the Thunderbird mobile client.
I am trying out BlueMail and it seems ok
