Thanks everyone for responding; thunderbird and all it's functions has |
22 |
served my needs well, for decades. We'll see about TB 78.x. |
23 |
|
24 |
|
25 |
Any suggestions for other software that has such a rich and robust set |
26 |
of features, and other strong points, would be appreciated too. I sure |
27 |
hope that TB tightens up security too. Sadly, I do not have much to hide |
28 |
nor super special information.But at least the pretense of security with |
29 |
one's own mail services, is a step in the right direction from Verizon's |
30 |
terminal email services. I like pop3 but I am open to additional |
31 |
protocols, as long as I can easily revert back to pop3. |
32 |
|

34 |
From some of my previous threads, I'm striving to get (2) R.Pi.4 boards |
35 |
running and secured, with static IPs. So then to build (2) robust |
36 |
systems (gentoo) to run a mail server, my own DNS authenticating |
37 |
(primary) resolvers and robustly support pop3 & imap and the associated |
38 |
software packages. |
39 |
|
40 |
Thunderbird is my choice to enjoy email on the other end of those R.Pi.4 |
41 |
mail services. Other friends no doubt will use other email client, |
42 |
including some that run on W10. TB is what I use currently with |
43 |
verizon's failing email services. |
44 |
|
45 |
I have never used email services on the verizon (stack) controlled |
46 |
Samsung phones, due to the large number un-fixable security problems. |
47 |
Eventually serving up emails to linux stack phones, and other secured |
48 |
cell phones would be great, but not in the initial roll out. |

Thanks again for the inputs. |
