Mailbox is so great for moving over a whole load of things away from google......email, calendar, contacts, online drive, etc.

My most recent success has been to move to Ecosia for 90% of searches.

Wasn't Ecosia bought out by a shady company like two years ago? How has it been since?

[โ€“] cRazi_man@europe.pub 3 points 2 days ago

Was it? Shit. The amount of research it takes to keep on top of this stuff......I better go read about the updated state of the search engine recommendations then.

I was looking to migrate my mails to a self-hosted Nextcloud instance, but Mailbox seems very appealing (and it would be cheaper than renting a VPS).

My only questions are: is there a feature like Snooze (or Follow-up reminders in Nextcloud parlance), can you have a unified mailbox for every address you have, and is there a limit to the number of domains you can have?

[โ€“] cRazi_man@europe.pub 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't know about Nextcloud. I don't have the expertise for self hosting email related stuff. I would end up with an unsafe setup or get my domain blacklisted or something. Privacy respecting solutions are so cheap anyway.

I was asking if those features were available in Mailbox. They are in Nextcloud, but knowing that Mailbox has them would entice me to move there instead of self-hostin (I share the same fears as you tbh)

I don't know all the answers to your use cases. I use my own domain, so anything sent to the domain comes to a single inbox anyway. I haven't tried with multiple email addresses.

Don't know about snooze either because I use it exclusively through Thunderbird.

They have a free trial. I suggest you make a dummy account and try out whatever you want and see if it fits your use.
