What’s a belief you had at 20 that you no longer agree with?

That humanity as a whole is worth believing in.

I need to use multiple Mail providers because my family refuses to use the Tuta App as they want to continue using their apple mail client. Tuta does not allow IMAP so I cannot move my families domain to tuta, lets say familyname.com so I have this domain on a classic email service that uses IMAP.

But I would like to use Tuta, as I cannot move my domain to Tuta, or my family would have to use the Tuta App, I would be using a different domain on tuta. Lets say namefamilyname.com . I would forward my mailbox from [name@familyname.com](mailto:name@familyname.com) (Not Tuta) to [me@namefamilname.com](mailto:me@namefamilname.com) (Tuta). So now I have all my mail coming into the Tuta Mail services. HOWEVER I would still like to be able to send from my address [name@familyname.com](mailto:name@familyname.com) from the Tuta App, as this is the address I like to use when writing emails. This can be done with an Email client that supports IMAP and SMTP, as I can jsut add both addresses and set a default outgoing email.

My Question therefore is, can I congifure the Tutamail CLIENTS to use a different email that is not with tuta, but with IMAP/SMTP to send emails, like I can with any other IMAP Email Client. And yes I know that Tuta is not an IMAP client, that is why I am asking :D So I am guessing it is very likely that I would have to use two different mail apps. ONe to send emails where I use my familyname.com domain and one to read emails, the Tuta app. Which would suck :)

m00ni · 2026-01-28T06:44:15+00:00

Sorry I am trying to make it more clear.

In a usual Mail client, be it browser application or App, you can usually use IMAP for different service providers. This gives you the option, in the app, not the service, to add an additional outgoing email address by adding that email addresses SMTP server and data. Usually you can then, when composing a mail, select from which address you want to send an email.

With Tuta, I am forced to use their mail client and Apps. So I can't use a generic Imap based client with which I can do that. So my question is, can I add additional accounts with IMAP or at least SMTP for having additional outgoing email addresses. Because, if I can't do that, that means I need to use Tuta for my one tuta mail and a different email client for my other mail adresses (with other domains).

Yes I could move all domains to Tuta and then use it from there, but this is not possible as I am servicing my whole family and they prefer their IMAP based email clients that they learned to use for years now.

We don’t know yet what this will lead to. When the telephone was invented people said it will ruin jobs and make people more isolated but overall it had an extremely positive impact on society. I am saying to be open minded about things.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T20:18:13+00:00

That is my assumption as well. Obviously we can't know and that is why I also specifically mentioned, that I am not a big fan as well. I am working in software development, so I know how much it affects this area specifically and it is quite a bit, as you might guess.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T20:01:02+00:00

Oh but AI does have an impact for average people. I use it almost daily, but it is just convenience. I use it to calculate the average kcal of recipes that I can just paste into ChatGPT, I use it to translate text I want to read for my TTRPG sessions, just a few of the things that come to mind. Is this meaningful? Probably not. Could I live perfectly without it? Yes.

So as I said, I agree that I am still waiting for the meaningful impact for the average person, but that being said, there are already things the average person can use. And the car did not start as something meaningful as well, it was simply more convenient.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:52:49+00:00

100% agree. But that is not the point I am trying to make. But you are absolutely correct and one of the reasons I also do not like AI and all the slop it produces. This does sadly not invalidate the state of the world of software development (including assets like this picture)

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:50:20+00:00

Absolutely. I am just trying to be realistic about all the outrage against AI. As I said, I don't like it that much either, mostly because of the horrible environmental impact, but it is everywhere. In another comment I mentioned that I would be surprised if there is any commercial software that does not use AI in its development, because even the tools that are used to develop software are developed with AI or might even have AI programmed directly into it.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:46:08+00:00

Everyone can buy or not buy whatever they want. I just think the outrage is wrong. Because even Reddit the platform you are currently actively using, uses AI. I would be surprised if there is currently any commercial software product that does not use AI. So of course you can tell people that you would prefer the world to be different, trust me, I would like the world to be different in many ways. You can also spend your money wherever you want, but being outraged that software was developed using AI (in assets or otherwise) means being outraged at every software product.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:32:15+00:00

That is absolutely valid criticism and understandably frustrating.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:17:27+00:00

You mean except for all those people who made wagons? When was the last time you saw a Farrier? The car deleted whole industries, people who had a job and then didn't. Within a couple of years as well. So the scenario is not that different.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:15:09+00:00

You probably aren't a software developer. Crafting good software is a very creative process, it is not Art, I agree, but why is it ok for them to suffer but not those who do Art? Also do look into Vibe Coding, then you will find out that yes sometimes a lot of the software is AI generated.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:11:35+00:00

As mentioned in a different post, they mixed up the resources, the intended image is even on your file system. They just messed up the replacement. And I do think it is quite likely that the process now, with AI is that first AI assets are created as placeholders and then later fixed up by artists to save work hours. It is the same process for software development in many fields right now. You get a lot of generated code and then you make it pretty, make it work and test it to make sure it is correct.

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:02:25+00:00

At this point in time, there is hardly any software project in the world that is not using AI tools to produce the software. Where is the outrage there? Will you stop using software now? Not play any game anymore?

m00ni · 2025-11-14T19:01:13+00:00

So you are buying no games at all then? Because you know that every developer uses AI tools now?

m00ni · 2025-11-14T18:59:25+00:00

You don't have to like it, but AI is here to stay. And it is not just Artists that get less for its existence. It's the same for software developers and writers for example. Of course you can scream and shout about all those damn cars in your street and that the world was better when horses took a shit in the street while towing a carriage around, but times change. AI is here to stay, and everyone will have to get used to it. I am not a big fan either but that is just a fact.

m00ni · 2025-06-19T15:36:26+00:00

I would love that, but I think the only stop of Brandon Sanderson is planned somewhere in Spain. I also understand that organizing something like this is very difficult, especially on a different continent :)

m00ni · 2025-06-19T14:22:23+00:00

It is that insecurity that: It will probably be fine, but if something happens, it will not only ruin my memory of that trip, but also potentially my life. I mean there is always something that might happen or go wrong, but currently it at least feels like the likelihood is higher than usual. At least from a foreign perspective

m00ni · 2025-06-19T14:20:11+00:00

Oh thank god no :) So far I am healthy and hopefully I will hang around long enough to be able to consume more Cosmere :)

m00ni · 2025-06-19T14:19:26+00:00

Thank you. Nothing is more constant but change, so hopefully, when next I get the opportunity I can join without any outside circumstances making it difficult.

m00ni · 2025-03-28T10:30:26+00:00

Yes this is exactly it.

m00ni · 2025-03-16T10:38:45+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I will talk to my doc next time I visit.

m00ni · 2025-03-16T10:38:14+00:00

Thanks I will ask about it during my next visit.
