Don't believe I didnt think of this! Thanks so much

For some reason, not all of the tools are being published to the website. Mailfence has been added so will look into this tonight.

[–] FallenWalnut@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You are in luck! Pretty much all of the top options in https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ have strong alias support. But Fastmail comes to mind with how it is integrated.

Also used both Fastmail and Infomaniak Mail. Ended up using Infomaniak Mail as there email grouping works really well.

Thunderbird

Right it isn't... the website is wrong then. I'll look to fix that.

The only reason would be if you preferred FairMail's interface, for example. You usually only use a different email client if the provider you have doesn't offer its own option or is limited in features.

https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ has some email clients listed, and you can see what is Open-Source and Free.

I think Thunderbird is the only option that is on iOS. Would be very interested if there are others that I missed.

Migadu

Will look to include them! Looks like an excellent choice for a straightforward email provider. Thanks for the suggestion.

On their profile I actually note that for Proton: https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/502XMZgodpzlHVkhrmJMYd/

People in the community are already raising concerns that they are too focused on pushing new tools out rather than improving the ones they already have. Mailbox.org, Tuta and Posteo would be better choices if you are looking for an email-first provider.

Yeah I believe they still are - will add that as a disclaimer

I tried to be clever with the space on the Venn diagram, but it might not be too clear. All those listed in the middle are included in the Eco-System section and the Free Tier.

The website has this listed better, so let me know if you spot any mistakes there: https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/

 

The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

As always, I more than welcome criticism and ideas!

If you’re looking to improve the guide I’d suggest not putting the week number in the same column as the list of app targets. Like either push them all the way to the left margin or rightward toward the arrow column

Yeah agreed, might even remove the week title as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

I created these guides as I was dispondent in the direction the world is going and feeling helpless. Besides the political movements, I feel the next best thing is to promote businesses that don't prioritise profits over people.

The starting point is moving away from big tech, but the intention of the movement is to extend to other products and industries.

I have subsequently created a website after the popularity of these infographic guides with far more detail:

https://purchasewithpurpose.io/

Hope this helps you, friends or family, make the switch!

 

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

 

This is the first version, so I expect there to be a few mistakes. Please flag and provide feedback if you notice any improvements.

Discovered some fantastic options through this research. Hopefully this guide can help you!
