Dear Posteo customers,

We have good news: Starting immediately, the price of โ‚ฌ1 per month includes more storage space โ€“ we are increasing it from 2 GB to 4 GB.

The adjustment applies to all Posteo mailboxes: both for new and existing customers.

I changed from Gmail to posteo two weeks ago. Works fine.

[โ€“] Blaze@piefed.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

Great news!

A good thing just happening? With no Strings attached? Thats wild!

I've been using Posteo for about 10 years. Highly recommended

[โ€“] Fedditor385@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

But, afaik they don't support custom domains, right?

[โ€“] bort@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

I relays all my mails from my custom domain to my posteo mailbox for the last 10 years. No issues there. (I do this via a minimal postfix on the VPS on that domain). The downside is, that I can only receive mail on that domain, but not send any.

[โ€“] bekksen@piefed.social 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

yep, you are right - custom domains are not supported by posteo. But mailbox.org supports them afaik

[โ€“] Fedditor385@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

But then the price increases by 150% per month :D

[โ€“] CactusEcho@piefed.social 12 points 12 hours ago

I moved to posteo a year ago. This is excelent news!

Is Posteo better than Protonmail or Tuta?

[โ€“] bort@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

I use posteo for mail/calendar and proton for everything else.

[โ€“] madjo@piefed.social 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Tuta is nice, but you have to use their app or website to read your mail.
Search is slow and often requires you to rebuild the search cache.
And last time I used Tuta, I couldn't sort my email in other ways than time.
It's very secure though and allows for E2E encryption with passwords.

Posteo allows you to use any IMAP client to access your mail.

[โ€“] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 3 points 8 hours ago

It is literally no more secure than any other email. Almost all emails support E2E encryption with passphrase, and any email that can use IMAP can through clients too.

The problem is that 99.99% of emails (not counting deltachat) have no way of utilizing that, so it is just as insecure on Tuta as anything else, just better marketed.

[โ€“] dukemirage@lemmy.world 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They all get the job done. Posteo has no free plan and only one paid plan which is the cheapest of the three (1โ‚ฌ/mo).

[โ€“] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 1 hour ago

If you want to save money, Purelymail is 10 dollars a year, no strings attached, unlimited custom domains. It's blissful.

[โ€“] bekksen@piefed.social 4 points 11 hours ago

Nice, good to know!

[โ€“] Limerance@piefed.social -1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I was surprised to see this be that little.

iCloud+ gives me 50 GB for 0,99 โ‚ฌ per month, including my own email domain, cloud storage, calendar, unlimited alias addresses.

With the convenience of auto distributing your nudes on your behalf.
