Good for gmail.
These days, people really should get their own domain and host there email there. If you do not know how to do this, there are plenty of cheap hosting companies you can use.
And if you want to encrypt, use gnupg or that thing Thunderbird now uses. I am a mutt user and gnupg with mutt is rather easy.
- jeremyjh 4y agoWhat if you want email you send to make it to the inbox of gmail, 365 users?
- sucinq 4y agoI suppose jeremyjh@ meant emailing someone with a Google account kind of defeats the purpose of self hosting as your message is now at Google's hands. Self hosting probably makes more sense if people you're emailing are self hosting too.
- seanw444 4y agoThen get a legit-looking domain name and hope you don't get algorithmically deranked. It's literally a gamble.
- misterio7 4y agoMost hosted mail services have no issues getting to mailbox. I've used Gandi, Mailbox, FastMail, and never have any mails flagged as spam. Deliverability is only an issue when self hosting (particularly for home IPs)
- misterio7 4y agoI mean, at least for me it hasn't been a problem. I currently self host mail on a VPS and everything's awesome. YMMV
- josefresco 4y ago>never have any mails flagged as spam You don't know this for certain, no one can unless you monitor both ends.

- jvolkman 4y agoYou must use your own domain with Google Workspace, which is what the post is about.
- coffeeblack 4y agoSure, if that's your hobby. I used to do that, but there are other things you can do with our time too. So now I use ProtonMail with my own domain.
- mr_mitm 4y agoAs a fellow mutt user, I only had to fiddle with the config over 10 years ago. After that, you are only reaping the benefits of your time investment.
