      That’s an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?

        Gmail works with it.

        But Gmail could technically pump the same ads over IMAP if they wanted to.

          Technically it’s not the same, in case of IMAP they would need to literally put spam mails into your account. As opposed to having visual elements in the UI that pretend to be an email. Might not feel like a big difference but actively poisoning the users inbox is pretty bad.

            Yeah, while technically possible, I don’t see that happening for the exact reason you said. 👍

        Mailbox.org is pretty nice, I’ve been using it since a few months now, because it’s compatible with basically all email clients (unlike protonmail) and they have a very cheap plan too.

          Using it for almost 3 years now, it’s great. Together with K9-Mail ofc!

          Thanks for sharing, I am seriously considering it. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase to myself. I kinda worry that I am just acting on a somewhat emotional fear of being watched.
