  if it’s anything like gmail, they’d offer imap so you can set it up in thunderbird and download your messages locally.

  Syncthing still works like that. It’s completely self hostable. I have it on a pi 1B+ lol

    I have it but it eats up battery on the phones and the Dev left so it’s probably going to go caput at some point.

      You really need to clarify your comment, as it’s already causing confusion.

      1. The official Syncthing project is going strong, and is not the same thing as the Android app.
      2. The Android app was discontinued late last year due to Google’s requirements to publish on the Play Store becoming increasingly difficult.
      3. Syncthing-Fork is now what Syncthing recommends for Android users.

      Aw man, I really love syncthing, especially across my computers/backup server at home. I don’t even know what I’d use instead

        Syncthing isn’t going anywhere. The Android app is the only thing that was dropped, and that was only because of Google’s increasingly-difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.

        Syncthing-Fork is the spiritual successor to the original Android app.

        I know there’s a fork. I’m hoping it picks up devs from where its at. It works beautifully.

  Sooo… where will be your email server then? On your home computer?

  • werefreeatlast@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    At home but separate computer with reverse proxy.

      Oh You will have trouble getting your outbound mail delivered

        It works I already tried. But I stopped short of jumping on board because its not the safest. No, what we need is some fedi style development. We need email on fedi.
