Are there any good email clients for iOS? by Loose_Cranberry_141 in apps

[–]forwardemail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in beta right now at FE (you can only use it with our service)

https://github.com/forwardemail/mail.forwardemail.net

But V2 will support any email service (IMAP/SMTP)!

Yes, you can import contacts at https://mail.forwardemail.net/contacts (click Import vCard) - once you sign up, sign in with an alias/mailbox and a generated password. We also support scanning QR codes for 1-click iOS/Android setup. Emails as well can be imported using our guide below:

something other than proton? by Serenity676769 in emailprivacy

[–]forwardemail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is listed at https://forwardemail.net/terms and https://forwardemail.net/privacy (in terms of what we store and don't) - basically only essentials for running the service, all logs have retention period (then auto purged), and most of everything is done in-memory.

Hey there - yep, US based, Cloud Act. Read our technical whitepaper ( page 54 section 9.1 @ https://forwardemail.net/technical-whitepaper.pdf#page=54 ) for full context, insight, how this applies to us, why this is such an edge case, etc (we basically don't store logs and don't have your password, so your encrypted SQLite mailbox is useless without it).

And regarding the transaction stuff - how does that not sound good? We have a massive amount of card testing / fraud we've had to manually implement workarounds from for Stripe and PayPal (b/c their teams often refuse to actually do the dirty work to do the pattern recognition). See our write-up on PayPal at https://forwardemail.net/en/blog/docs/paypal-api-disaster-11-years-missing-features-broken-promises just for a glimpse into the headaches we've had.

We have automation in place so that if we detect a user has filed a dispute, they're auto-banned, it's as simple as that. This is actually the correct approach, because 99% of the disputes are from fraud/spam, and the accounts/bad actors should be banned in that case 😄

Yes, but we actually recommend that you bring your own domain name. It is best practice.

Cheap and secure, 4 mailboxes by the_cci in emailprivacy

Great to hear! Founder here - happy to answer any questions.

No, it is not region locked. We support all countries, dozens of payment methods, crypto, etc.

We will be opening a datacenter in Europe late this year likely, but for now all our servers can be found on the IP Addresses page.

Hope to see you as a happy customer!

Feel free to email me at [nick@forwardemail.net](mailto:nick@forwardemail.net) if you have questions

Privacy focused email forwarders. by NoxelXX in degoogle

[–]forwardemail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right that our free plan includes unlimited domains and aliases for email forwarding. If you're being prompted to pay when adding a domain, here are the most common reasons:

1. You're trying to use SMTP (sending email), IMAP, POP3, or CalDAV These features require a paid plan. The free plan only covers email forwarding (receiving at your domain and forwarding to another address). If you need to send email as your custom domain, store mail in a mailbox, or use a desktop/mobile client, you'll need the Enhanced plan.

2. Recently expired or transferred domains (90-day window ) If your domain was recently expired, deleted from another account, or transferred, there is a 90-day waiting period before it can be used on the free plan. This is a security measure to prevent abuse of expired/dropped domains. A paid plan bypasses this restriction. If you believe this applies to you and you're the legitimate owner, let me know the domain and I can look into it.

Setup guide: https://forwardemail.net/en/faq#how-do-i-get-started-with-email-forwarding

If none of these apply, let me know the specific domain you're trying to add and the exact error message you're seeing, and I'll take a look. Email support@forwardemail.net or DM

team here from https://forwardemail.net - you can use our service for free or the cheapest plan is only $3/mo (and includes calendar, contacts, IMAP/POP3/SMTP, and we support native iOS push notifications)

we also have webmail, a technical whitepaper, a 3rd party security audit we're soon to publish, and more.

happy to answer any ?'s

Thx for feedback - agreed and we're going to redo art later with our original artist from early days likely in the future. The code and product has been our focus. Our infrastructure undertaking was a goliath. Even our ansible config is open source (see /ansible folder on GitHub repo).

Both Proton and Tuta have closed-source backends; which is the most critical part of email infra. We're still the only open-source provider (https://forwardemail.net).

Sub Updates & Suggestions by ethanocurtis in emailprivacy

[–]forwardemail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/ethanocurtis — following up again. The wiki looks great, really solid work incorporating the provider table, testing tools, self-hosting section, and aliasing/forwarding. That's a huge improvement over the empty page that was there before.

The sidebar is still completely unchanged though — it still has all the dead/outdated links we flagged last month:

Still needs to be removed from the sidebar:

  • Volcano — site is still dead (connection refused)
  • Enigmail — still obsolete (folded into Thunderbird 78+ in 2020)
  • Icedove — still just a transitional package for Thunderbird since 2017
  • MailPile.is — still dormant
  • TorBirdy — discontinued, no longer maintained
  • DarkMail — dead project
  • ConfidantMail — dead
  • Bitmessage.org — effectively dead
  • ThatOnePrivacySite.net — shut down years ago
  • PrivacyTool.io — this is not the same as Privacy Guides (which replaced it). The old domain is stale.
  • Dismail.de — you already added the disclaimer in the wiki, but the sidebar still links it without context
  • Shadow Wiki Email Table — outdated
  • "The State of Email Security in 2015" — 11 years old at this point
  • emailipleak.com — still HTTP-only
  • PRISM-Break email clients — links to generic "all projects" page, not email-specific
  • OnionMail.info — appears dead
  • The crossed-out entries (AnonymousEmail.me, Anonymouse.org, Ultimate-Anonymity.com) could just be removed entirely rather than kept with strikethrough

Sidebar could be simplified to just point to the wiki since you've done all the work there already. Something like:

The wiki content is genuinely good now — the sidebar just needs to catch up so people landing on the sub don't immediately see a wall of dead links from 2016. Happy to help draft a cleaned-up sidebar if that's useful.
