@WeirdWriter@caneandable.social Exactly. We’ve somehow confused communication with the corporations that mediate it. Email still works. SMS still works. The open web still works. The Fediverse works. But people now ask, “How will I contact you?” when what they really mean is, “Which closed platform are you still trapped inside?” That dependency is the problem. #Facebook #Meta #SocialMedia #OpenWeb #Fediverse #Mastodon #SMS #Email #DigitalIndependence #BigTech

I have a bunch of old .mbox files from previous and unused Thunderbird accounts. I'd like to convert these files to individual .eml or even better text files so I can archive and search them better as I'm not loading them in Thunderbird anymore. Is there a utility for that somewhere?

boosting makes the world nicer.

Our new Amsterdam servers are live. The EU can now be the primary home for Fastmail data, and like our US locations, it's our own hardware, racked and run by our own people. Nothing rented from a big cloud provider. Already a customer? Switch regions in your settings. Thinking about it? You choose your region at signup. Our CEO Bron's post walks through exactly what lives where, because we figure you'd read the fine print anyway. https://www.fastmail.com/blog/fastmail-offers-eu-data-region #Fastmail #Email

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account: Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places: #Google #Email #Privacy #AI

  1. The Main Switch

This is the main setting Google shows you, but it's not the only one.

Gmail (Desktop):

⚙️ Settings → See all settings → Smart features and personalization → Uncheck "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet" → Save Changes.

  1. The Hidden Switch

Turning off the first setting isn't enough. Most people stop there.

On the same settings page: Google Workspace smart features → Manage Workspace smart feature settings → Turn off both checkboxes → Save.

Both settings need to be turned off.

  1. Your Phone

The settings don't always sync between devices, so check the Gmail app separately.

Gmail app → Menu (☰) → Settings → Select your account → Turn off "Smart features and personalization" → Confirm.

  1. Delete Gemini History

If you've used Gemini before, your chats may be saved, and some could be reviewed by humans.

Go to http://myactivity.google.com/product/gemini → Turn off Gemini Apps Activity → Delete Activity → All Time.

This removes your past Gemini chat history and stops future conversations from being saved.

  1. Move Sensitive Emails

Turning off Gmail's smart features helps, but for truly private emails, consider using a separate service.

For medical, legal, or financial emails, use a free Proton Mail account. It offers end-to-end encryption and doesn't use AI to scan your emails.

Keep Gmail for newsletters, promotions, and less sensitive messages.

@dbattistella@mstdn.ca My husband and I use tuta (@Tutanota@mastodon.social) for sending encrypted email. The account also includes a calendar. I started with a free account just to test it out and then moved to the paid tier to get some more features. No affiliation with the company, just a customer. #Email #Privacy #Encryption

I've been self hosting email for years. This morning, an email to a Gmail account was blocked because of "the very low reputation of the sending domain". Any advice on how to fix this? Presumably using a hosted email service won't help because I'd still want to use my domain, and Gmail says the domain is the issue. #SelfHosting #email

Friday is the 27th annual SysAdmin Appreciation Day, and our Platform Team Lead wrote about the job. The part we like most: the work is invisible on purpose. If you never notice the servers, networks, and DNS your email lives on, that's the whole point. We run all of it in-house, so when something breaks, nobody here waits on hold with a vendor. Someone just fixes it. https://www.fastmail.com/blog/system-administrator-appreciation-day-and-why-we-keep-our-skills-in-house/ #SysAdminDay #EmailMadeBetter #Fastmail #Email

If it's possible for a user to send an unencrypted message across the wire on your "end-to-end encrypted" app, then it's not actually E2EE.

  • This means that email can't be E2EE (because a user could easily hit reply without encrypting, accidentally sending the full conversation thread in plaintext).

  • It refers to RCS texting, where, at least on Android, it will often drop down into unencrypted SMS when the RCS protocol is having trouble.

  • It's the case for Matrix even, where E2EE is a setting that can switch on or off.

In no world would we accept an application as being encrypted between client and server if it was possible for packages to get sent in plaintext occasionally. We wouldn't put up with HTPPS occasionally sending HTML forms over HTTP on accident. Why do many people feel comfortable with the same issue when applied between two users, instead of a user and a server?

If it's possible to send a plaintext message in an E2EE platform, then the platform isn't really E2EE.

«Modern email can be built from borrowed parts» What if we designed the successor to email on top of HTTP, fixing 40 years of SMTP design flaws using only technologies that already exist? https://en.andros.dev/blog/d7ed8b07/modern-email-can-be-built-from-borrowed-parts/ #Email #ActivityPub #OpenWeb #Python
