ElectronMail VS AnonAddy

an application i use a lot is electronmail, the only problem with it is it's only aur package is a binary that bundles it's own electron. if you could make a package that built it from source and used system electron i would greatly appreciate it!

Using Electron-Mail as a Desktop client on multiple devices (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and can say nothing bad about it - it's basically an electron wrapper with added features - I like having my email in a dedicated app. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail You could also install the website as an app (should work in most browsers).

Electron-Mail offers offline access/ a database. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

You van use Electronmail to do this in the meantime: https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

also you can look into ElectronMail, which is basically what the official desktop app will probably more or less be

It's not self-hosting, but ElectronMail lets you use ProtonMail in an electron app using their frontend code.

Is there a reason that everyone is asking for an official client and not just using ElectronMail? It's had support for Drive for months

The general go-to recommendation for cross-platform email clients is Mozilla Thunderbird (PrivacyGuides, OpenSource.com). I like to be able to have access to my emails offline and currently, I am using ElectronMail, which encrypts the offline datastore with a password that has be input every time the application is launched (GitHub README.md).

With providers like Addy and SimpleLogin it is possible to use your own domain.

This is one of a few reasons I have started to use email forwarders such as AnonAddy.

Not all of my emails have been moved over yet, but over time I plan on depreciating almost if not all of my main emails from logins.

For receive-only e-mails, take a look at addy.io as a free alternative to DDG. It's easier to manage with an account page listing every alias you create, with the option to block if required.

I use https://anonaddy.com/

My only complaint: 90% of the emails coming from AnonAddy, which is the alias service I use for all of my accounts, end up in the spam folder.

AnonAddy - https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/blob/master/SELF-HOSTING.md OR SimpleLogin.io The real issue you are going to face is being able to receive emails on your server. If you are trying to do this at home, most home ISPs block incoming port 25. Even on most cloud providers you will face the same problem.

Anonaddy, basically the exact same product made by different people, can also be selfhosted. https://anonaddy.com/
