A minimalist email server without UI
An ode to email <3
keep your crusty gmail account around for spam and trials and signups and
whatever else, and get yourself a fastmail.com account. or a migadu.com account
if you're a techie.set email type to plaintext-only. this email account will only ever send
or receive text.email waits patiently. it sits still and does not make a fuss. if your friend
doesn't respond, send another email to another friend. the conversations move
slowly, sometimes over the course of many years. this is the antithesis of
modern communication.think of email the same way you'd think of a penpal.
email connects people intimately and loosely.
I think it would be better if he mastered rules and filters and stick to one inbox
I totally agree
How to fix the wrongly flagged email by customizing the request :)
However, It does make me think to build things as much inclusive as possible. Not only test with the majority, but also think more about rest, as some little things could become huge blockers for them.
Build a responsive email framework with MJML and its component and templates.
Use mdx and customize its parser to generate MJML output instead of raw HTML.
Use an Email Service Provider to send email

Three features are the source of an increasing amount of anxiety when it comes to instant messaging: read receipts, online status, and what I call "typing now... don't hold your breath" mode
What Read Receipts do accomplish is to tell the recipient that the sender now knows you have seen their message. Thus, the clock begins to tick to when you, per some unwritten social norm — which differs by sender and group — should reply or else you are ignoring that person.
About the feature "online status":
But now, everyone is essentially online all the time. There is nothing unique about it and you may don't want to reveal others that you are awake at 2am.
About the "is writing back" feature:
This is partially why I call it the "don't hold your breath" feature. You could be waiting, staring at your phone, ignoring the many other things you could do in that 30 seconds, and for your troubles get exactly... nothing.
How does this add real value to anyone?
These 3 annoying points are already solved by emails as it does not exist at all.
Email is unreliable for communication, no because:
- can bounce around all sorts of broken internet issues for quite a while
- it's a formal internet standard that does not rely upon a single failure point like most alternatives to email (Facebook Messenger, Slack, Skype, Discord, etc...)
- yes there is no reliable "read" indicator, but it is the case for every app
- the error messages are more detailed than "failed to send"
Email the a one-line replies doesn't add value:
- it is the same for messaging apps :)
- email does not quash or control the types of communication you can send
Email always top-quote:
- you can reply the way you want. The message can be at the top of the previous message. You can also break up the original email and put the replies in-between.
De facto oligopoly of email providers:
- same arguments as for other messaging apps
- you can communicate between email providers, thing that you can not between messaging apps
Span and abuse:
- same as other applications
- but you don't have to do an outright block or mute notifications, you can put these emails into a buried folders or creating another rule: set up on auto-reply for it :)
Filters and organisation of email is often difficult. The tools provided are not always well suited for the task:
- first is only learning simple rules
- you are allow to filter and organize as you wish.
- you are able to switch of email providers if the tools does not fit for your usage.
Threading is unreliable:
- does not work at all on modern apps. Except Discord but it is confusing.
Email addresses are too tightly tied to your identity.
- Seriously ?
- You don't have to.
Searching is often inadequate
- Tru about 20 years ago. Now it is powerful!
A project to check email, because it is hard to do it by hand !
I will start using it. It seems useful if you give your email address to third-parties or to know where someone got your email from.
Comment avoir une adresse mail avec un nom de domaine à soi facilement 👍
Petite pub car Gandi gère aussi mon nom de domaine lyokolux.space, et leur interface est clean, tout roule avec eux.

Un cas d'école, comment l'éviter.
Bref sous le coude car ça peut servir d'exemple.
Le champ From ne reflète pas toujours l'auteur originel du mail. On entend par le premier l'émetteur du mail.
Ce RFC propose un champ Author

Firefox Relay est un outil semblable à DropMail, Yopmail, etc... ; ce sont des boîtes mails jetables.
La particularité de Firefox Relay est de pouvoir transmettre les messages à la boite mail principale.
L'UI de ce service mail à l'air excellent
