I’ve been working on this email service for four years, and I just opened it to the public today. The way it works is a might different than other email services. You still get an address like yourname@port87.com, but you don’t usually use that form. Instead, you add a label like yourname-lemmy@port87.com. This is often called subaddressing or plus addressing. With Port87, these addresses go into labels. Everything between the dash and the at is a label. When you sign up somewhere, you can give them a label, even if it doesn’t exist yet. Then it becomes a pending label that you can approve to move it in with all your other labels. This really helps with organization too. You can also give labels meant for real people, like yourname-friends@port87.com. On labels meant for real people, you can enable screening that responds to anyone new with a link to prove they’re human. When they click the link, their email is delivered. Lastly, you can give out your “bare address” (yourname@port87.com) anywhere, because any email to it doesn’t get delivered to you. Instead, they get a response saying to email one of your other addresses, then a list of all of the addresses to your public labels. For example, I have a public label at hperrin-opensource@port87.com that’s meant for email about my open source projects. That gets included in the list in the auto reply when you email hperrin@port87.com. Oh, also, you can bring your own domain! The main benefit of your own domain is it prevents vendor lock in. If Port87 ever stops meeting your needs, you can pack up your domain and take it to another provider. It also prevents losing your address if Port87 ever shuts down. If you can’t tell, I’m very passionate about email, and the more competition there is to Gmail and Exchange, the more they’ll be forced to actually stop trying to Embrace Extend Extinguish email.

It was recently announced that Port87 was out of beta. I had heard about the service previously but had not signed up to test it. Here's a link to their website, which will explain their service much better than I could: Port87 - A new kind of email Today, I signed up for the free service - Basic Mail - which has 500MB of storage. Note that only covers _receiving_ of emails. If you want to _send_ emails, get more storage, or use your own domain(s), it's at an additional cost. Here's the link to their pricing: Pricing - Port87 When signing up for the service, I had to provide a recovery email address - I used a Gmail address, their verification email was received and verified. Now for first test - I created a label 'Social' for - guess what? - social media stuff. Next I logged into my Runbox account and sent a test message to 'myusername-social@port87.com'. Shortly after I received this auto-response from Port87: **This address has email screening enabled. Therefore, Port87 needs you to do a one-time verification that you're a real person. If you can see the blue-gray checkmark below, you're all set. If not, you can enable remote images in your email client or click the link to verify your address. Once verified, your message will be delivered.** ** ** **Verify Address** ** ** **Port87 uses this verification process to prevent unwanted mail from getting to our users. Until you complete this verification, your message will be on hold. If you don't complete this verification within 60 days, your message will be deleted. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.** ** ** **Best,** **The Port87 Team** Once I had verified my address, the original email then appeared in my Port87 account. So far so good! The next test was sending an email to what Port87 calls my 'bare' address - 'myusername@port87.com'. I would prefer to call it my 'default' address, but anyway . . . This time, sending from the Gmail account that is my recovery email address for my Port87 account. This is where I encountered the first problem. Although I had received the verification email from Port87 when setting up the account, this time I received nothing - nothing in my Gmail inbox or spam folder! That was surprising to me that Gmail did not flag the first email from Port87, and then just silently dropped the second one. Gmail appear to be classing the second email as spam. So that test failed. Tried the same thing again, but sending from an email address hosted by MXroute. Again, and the same as Gmail, I got nothing back. It seems that MXroute had dropped the email. So _that_ test also failed. One more try, this time sending from a Fastmail account. Luckier, this time, I got a response back from Port87, but it landed in the spam folder. At least I could mark it as 'not-spam' and then it all worked OK from then on. I've since whitelisted the port87.com domain within my Gmail, MXroute and Fastmail accounts. I've not re-tested those accounts, although that is the logical next step. Early days, first steps, etc.

I don’t think #Framework understands that they _are_ a political brand. They don’t have the best products, and they don’t have the cheapest products. They have products that appeal to _political positions_. By trying to keep “politics” out of their decisions, what they’re saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid. It’s incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious response. https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2
