I'm not saying it necessarily is a good name but simplex is just a Latin word that's used in many contexts. I for one would have never thought of Herpes here

They actually don't sleep at all because it is just a stock photo

Are they actually stating "secure alternative"? I only see this on the Lemmy post but not on the linked site. Of course, there is "Security & Compliance", but not in distinction to GitHub or Gitlab

It's quite evident already from the Quran quotes he chose at the very beginning

This only makes sense if we're talking about movies. If we're talking about software (as the Lemmy title suggests) the question in itself doesn't make sense because only something that needs improvement needs an update

There is encryption at rest (storage encryption), transport encryption and end-to-end encryption. E.g. Posteo has transport encryption and optional storage encryption. With activated storage encryption, Posteo cannot read your mail because the encryption key on their server is only usable with your password (which they do not store). Proton Bridge adds end-to-end encryption to Protonmail

As someone else pointed out, maybe you're thinking of POP instead of IMAP? I basically have all my mails on the host's servers (including folders) and just synchronize using my different clients

Sorry, I kind of forgot about lemmy or a few days. In Thunderbird, I create a new dedicated folder, use Tools --> Message Filters. I then can add the desired filter (something like must contain at least 'host.tld' in sender) and make it move all filtered mails into the previously created folder. I just checked, it works like this. You can also specify when that filter should be executed (e.g. when getting new mails or every 10 minutes) and the folder with the filtered mails also shows up in FairMail on Android.

Sorry if my comment comes off as rude, I'm just genuinely curious

I'm curious what you mean by that. What exactly do you miss for these providers? (e.g. for posteo and mailbox.org, as those are the ones I am using)

I'm a heavy Thunderbird user and to be honest, I don't understand what you're saying at all? I have multiple private mail accounts and a work mail account and I use all of them on multiple machines with Thunderbird but also with different clients (e.g. FairEmail on Android) as well as webmail (at least for my work mail I use it sometimes) and I never experienced any problems. What exactly do you mean? I mean, I do have an export of my thunderbird profiles (maybe not up to date, though, tbh), but more so out of comfort than necessity. Without this export, and in the unlikely case of a system failure, I would have to go through the process of adding my mail accounts (server, password, username) by hand and that's basically it

I just thought way too long about "and what about non-human poop?"
