TLDR: XSF Communication Team is asking to switch to mailbox.org for 30
EUR per year.
Dear all,
We would like to find a new email address for the XSF Communication Team
that supports all our growing needs. Protonmail no longer meets these
needs for a long time, either for free or at a reasonable price (while
still respecting their service).
We need such an account because Protonmail asked for a paid subscription
to use SMTP with e.g. Thunderbird (yes really). We are also limited in
organizing emails and the inbox as this is also restricted in the free
plan. Additionally, we are currently blocked to use Reddit and LinkedIn
with SocialBu with our Protonmail.
We are therefore looking for a decent host that also supports a good
level of compliance, privacy under GDPR, and possibly comes with more
capabilities at a reasonable price. We have created a service comparison
table here: https://pad.nixnet.services/331YAjbUQOmAWa2Octx_DA?view
Later on, we could also ask Mailbox.org if they could provide a standard
account for free. As they even used to run an XMPP server, they might be
willing to support an account. However, I am not sure how such a
collaboration should look like.
Firstly, we are blocked being fully operational and able to expand as we
could at the moment and I would like to switch first. Then we can expand
cooperation and maybe even sponsoring.
On the other hand, switching to mailbox.org would provide us with
additional organisational tooling that could benefit the XSF and the
XMPP Community such as custom domains and other office tools they provide.
Best regards,
Eddie
