Onmail is pretty awesome. You get 10gb free and it has a function where you have to approve first contacts. Very easy way to block spammers.

I use it to get mail from two other accounts.

I have used proton before and it’s fine but the one annoyance is that it treats mail in trash as archived mail, which means that you get a lot of: there is deleted mail in this thread.

Nice thanks for sharing, haven't heard about onmail before.

[–] writerlygal@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Most welcome. Hope you check it out!

Can you use a 3rd party own email client, like K9, mutt, thunderbird, etc? Do they support imap and/or pop3?

[–] writerlygal@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The latter for sure. I get email from two other accounts in my onmail. I’m not sure if they have imap themselves as I’ve never wanted to 😀

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I signed up. There's no way to use pop3 or imap.
