Thunderbird launches Thundermail and Pro services to offer an open-source alternative to Gmail and Office365, focused on privacy, freedom, and user control.
The thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.
I have been thinking about it but I wasn’t sure if it would be secure enough. But I will look into it. I have my own domain through a host with a site that has email but it’s for a business I am trying to get going so I don’t want to use that for personal shit.
I will do some research about it. I think I have the skills to set it up I just don’t know how to keep it secured.
Do you run it on a machine at home or do you host it with a provider?
Self host email, It’s not thaylt hard and its good for everyone to make small email servers a thing again
Follow-up question how much does it cost you?
10-20 a year for a domain name.
dynamic dns from freedns is free
Email server is a free laptop with a broken screen
I set it up with dockermail server in an afternoon. They have good docs, it was easy.
