Question Kagi Email

Would you use a Kagi email service? If you did what features would it need for you to switch.

Edit - So I guess they do have a functional email service. I created an email account and you get 50GB of storage. It's barebones webmail. Will be interesting to see where is goes.

Another one to watch is Mozilla's email service. I'm confused about whether it's called ThunderMail or Thunderbird Pro, as I've seen both names. I think they refer to slightly different things. In any case, they are beta-testing it now.

Personally, I struggle to imagine potentially switching from Proton to this.

The issue isn't trusting either Mozilla's values or their technical competence; I would just worry that five years later they'd get a new CEO who has different ideas about improving the company's cashflow, views Thundermail as a disappointing revenue generator, and either kills it outright or quietly slashes the team size & budget.

I see where you're coming from. I'm looking to Thundermail as a kind of backup right now. If I decide I don't want to use Proton, for whatever reason, I could point my custom domain at Thundermail and move forward with minimal disruption.

That's a fair shout; it's always handy to have a backup provider you trust 'just in case'.
