    Privacy isn’t dead, but it will be soon because those of us who seriously care about it are the 0.001%.

    After all the fuzz about Mullvad having used Gmail for email and now self-hosting, have you checked what EFF uses for email ? So long privacy !

          In true EFF fashion. Their second server / backup MX is hosted at some other smaller company so things could be worse, at least their MX as a non Microsoft alternative.

          Either way I can get this, they most likely have hundreds of people using Microsoft products, like Office 365, and Outlook’s compatibility with IMAP is a joke. They most likely also don’t want to run a serious in-house email infraestruture capable of handling that load. All reasons might have driven them to Microsoft / O365.

          This is usually what happens, when your company is big you can’t make it with open-source without tons of extra costs and complexities. Sad but true.

            Hell, even SMB really can’t easily/cost-effectively run without MS.

            Sad, but true.

              Unfortunately it can’t either be run in a solid and stable way EVEN with MS. The Windows’ SMB client sucks as well.

      There isn’t a a lot of options for public facing organizations. It kind of sucks but it is true.

      Also email isn’t private or secure and it will never be private or secure unless you use gpg everywhere with everyone. Even with gpg you still have a public identity.

        Really ?

        Also email isn’t private or secure

        Agreed.

        and it will never be private or secure unless you use gpg everywhere with everyone. Even with gpg you still have a public identity.

        One problem with GnuPG is that it will take a lot of effort to make normies use it.

          EFF and Fastmail for email seems like a perfect match. And Fastmail has servers in the USA which EFF might appreciate :)
