  • I don’t have a book, but it’s generally like this: providers offer you an email account. Usually, the provider also offers a website where you can access that email account (“webmail”). Some providers also offer mobile apps for access. Email accounts follow some standards, and almost all of them can be accessed via standard email clients (e.g. Thunderbird).

    Most have a limited size for your account (e.g. 1GB) which has to fit all your attachments etc. If it’s full, you can’t receive more emails. Some have automated spam filters etc. Many are free, but their webmail usually contains ads.






  • I agree with what we want, but I’m not gonna demand it from any profit driven company. We need to build it ourselves.

    Not saying there aren’t any companies doing things properly, but in the end, they have to decide between more profits (cutting corners, selling data, etc) and making user friendly, durable products. The systems we live in are not designed for the latter - they have to go as well.
