    What email service do you use for a unified inbox?

    I am researching options to move to a better email client with some of my existing email addresses (namely gmail and outlook), but I am having trouble finding one that you can view both in a browser and in an app. Ideally it would be pretty low cost (free) but I am willing to pay for an exceptional one. Unfortunately at this time I can't change my email addresses.

    Any ideas?

    Email Archive Options

    I have a number of email accounts including free services like Gmail and yahoo, as well as private domains I own. I'm looking for a way to pull all of my mail into a local store that I can access using my mail client (Thunderbird). I want to keep the accounts separate from each other. Any recommendations?

    TIL: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and how to set rejection rules based solely on DKIM

    I host my own e-mail server, and for a long time I have been pulling my hair out on why the receiving end will still accept e-mails sent from my domain without any DKIM signature.

    I have made sure that DKIM has been setup properly in my server, which means if an outgoing e-mail either fails the DKIM test, or doesn't contain any DKIM signature, then the e-mail must be fake. But currently while the receiving end knows to reject if DKIM=fail, it lets the e-mail pass if there is no DKIM signature.

    Problem: I found as long as someone impersonates my e-mail account then send an e-mail that will pass the SPF test and doesn't contain any DKIM signature (real or fake), then it will still be considered legitimate by the recipient email server. This is even more problematic in my case as I have to rely on an e-mail relay provided by my ISP to send e-mails out (my ISP specifically blocks any outgoing port 25 connections, apparently to fight spam). This unfortunately means any other customers

    OnMail - An ultra-fast email service that keeps things simple

    Summary

    OnMail may not shine with anything exceptional, but when you need a simple email provider that just gets the job done, it’s one of the best options available on the market right now. The service has a free tier that provides you with a good deal of features, though if you want to take full advantage of what it has to offer, you’ll want to upgrade to the premium tier. OnMail’s pricing is relatively good compared to other providers with similar features, making it a solid offer in a market that is starting to get very crowded.

    To be honest I was excited when OnMail was launched as invite-only back in April 2020, and immediately I put myself in the waiting list! After waited for several months I was finally able to signup myself an account, however it's not possible to get a username shorter than EIGHT (8) characters unless you pay for their most expensive Professional Plan which is $99/year. But if you're like me and don't mind having a longer username, then the free plan

    Tutanota: Easy to use and private by design

    Summary

    Native cross platform apps available. Paid plans enable custom domains. No third-party email clients are supported, users need to use the wide range of native apps. Based in Germany, founded in 2011.

    I started my Tutanota journey 2 years back. Although it has a very simple UI but the strong security it offers means it provides strong competition to ProtonMail (a Switzerland based popular private & secured email provider). Despite the lack of features, I find it fulfill my basic needs for email and generally I do not face any huge issues using it.

    Their native apps work as good as their webmail and offers everything you need in an email, such as creating filters, aliases and you can even configure your custom domain -- provided you pay for a plan. They also offers catch-all for all your custom domains that translate to unlimited aliases (however you're limit only to 5 aliases, depending on the plan you subscribed, for sending emails).

    Pricing has to be their most attract
