let me be more specific..some of you tech wizards run your own mail
servers laughs.
I'm guilty of putting myself through that. Have run email on a small
domain for a few years and am in the process of moving several more to
an entirely new system.
Been *really* deep in the various configuration options for multi-domain
email setup.
for context, although google is removing access to basic html in
January, they pulled my access to it early..and without warning on Monday.
Oh no!
Yet another step in the ongoing decline of Google.
So, what I am seeking now is a provider that can..
1, allow me to export all of my gmail content to them.
I could provide that ability, see below.
2, either allows for user name / password log in directly with a web
interface,
RoundCube web interface okay?
or where I can ssh into a shell or workspace and find an
email client, think Alpine for example.
Hmmm. Hadn't considered that.
Perhaps ssh with ForceCommand=/usr/bin/alpine ?
3, where I can also send email, in theory once I have all of my gmail
content, I can set that email to forward without losing access to a
great deal of personal, professional, and legal files.
Yes, something like Mutt might or might be configured for imap.gmail.com
However, I am not a programmer, and given all the changes google is
making, wonder how long they will allow third party access of that type.
Would rather locate something Linux friendly, and even pay for a door
then need to construct my own house if that makes sense.
any good options?
I've considered offering email services, this might be something I could do.
How much storage does your email use? My VPS is fairly restricted on
space (it can be upgraded).
As far as "exporting" from another account - I used Thunderbird to drag
& drop all messages between (active) IMAP accounts when setting up new
system.
Another question - were you wanting your own domain, or is the domain
irrelevant?
Cheers,
rb
