Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I use Gandi as my domain host, then Tutanota as my email provider which can be used as a catch-all mail box. I pay like $12/yr for their service, their service is e2ee, and all of their clients are FOSS. Great company to support.
I use to use tuta as my provider but the lack of IMAP support I moved to mailbox.org basically the same thing if you give them your public GPG key for them to encrypt your inbound emails.
Is it stored on their servers as e2ee though? Yeah the Tutanota client leaves a lot to be desired. I really like how their calendar and email are rolled into one though and it's relatively simple. Still missing a ton of features though.
My understanding is only tuta to tuta is e2ee (via GPG). However, When you send or receive an external (non-tutanota)email, all they do is encrypt it for your inbox. Obviously its stored unencrypted in gmails servers, if you're talking to someone at gmail, for example.
From what I remember, you can't even use GPG to encrypt an email to someone external, you have to use their service that someone has to click a link, put in a password to view.
As for e2ee on the wire, almost all emails are encrypted, this isn't unique to tuta. It's basically HTTPS but for emails. Only a bad or misconfigured host would be unencrypted/HTTP.
Edit: to answer your question more directly, i believe mailbox.org + GPG encrypted inbox is the exact same thing as tuta. Not exactly E2EE but I get IMAP and I can use Thunderbird and use GPG with external people.
Yeah I know that about sending emails, which the e2ee may as well not exist lol. But your mailbox and calendar is also all e2ee, which I'm not sure many other services that do that. I'm pretty sure protonmail does though.
I'm not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don't care.
I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.
Yeah I self host a lot of stuff, but don't bother with email. I feel like it's one of the hardest to configure and maintain, then there's the spam folder issue you just said.
