TIP - Cheap FOSS imap provider (Mail and Gnus after the Google/MS)

[Arthur Miller]

I don't know how it ended up with that discussion about Gnus and mail in
Emacs after announced switch to disable user/pass authentication in
Gmaila and Outlook (hotmail/live), but there is some current trhead on
/r/Emacs and someone posted a link yesterday to a provider named Posteo.

No idea if it is well-known here, but they guarantee to be Foss, have
been arround for several years now, and are relatively cheap (1€ for
basic 2gig, 50meg attachments). Syncable calendar includded too.

https://posteo.de/en/

Observer that I am by no mean affiliated with them, not a custoner yet
either, but will probably become.

Great to switch from tracking providers.

I've been using Posteo for quite couple of months, since the pandemic started, though using mu4e & isync/mbsync. Posteo is indeed a good product (I do not work there).

For anyone interested in it, I can send my mu4e & isync configuration off-list, to get people started.
