WTF! No sign up or anything! Just a fucking email telling me I’m using it?
Fuck you Google!
I remember distinctly looking for a picture for a shit post, then I magically subscribed to having my data at their disposal? What the ever living fuck. Google will regret this move.
Super easy!
Ready?
Leave google, stop doing google searches. Abandon your Gmail account. (Note: By this I mean literally delete the mailbox: you CAN have a GMail-LESS google account. I do!) Google services are now for syncing your YouTube subscriptions and absolutely nothing else! YAY!
I’m in the middle of setting up a docker mailserver for this purpose. There’s a ton of levers to pull on that thing, but I’m getting thru it. The main thing is to get an account elsewhere that I can do SMTP or IMAP or pop3. Like many others point out, you don’t want to create a mail server. What I do want is fetchmail accessible from all my devices that takes emails from any source and keeps them under my control…because it’s my mail.
Neat. Let us know how it goes?
