I tried switching to Tuta, but I got annoyed at only being able to use their email client, so I can’t mix and use my work email there and have to have two email clients. What made you choose mailbox?

I did not consider Tuta at the time. It either was not around yet or too new.

I compared Posteo and Mailbox. Since Mailbox gives me the option to use my own domain, I picked that one. (I don't have my own domain 🤡)

Mailbox provides normal IMAP access. I use Thunderbird and the iOS Mail app as clients. (Annoying: iOS Mail does not delete mails in a way that is recognized by Thunderbird)

I didn’t understand the last part. Why do you use both?

I do use both because I want to read my email on my phone and on my desktop.

If I delete a Mail on iOS, it is not deleted in Thunderbird though. The iOS client only marks it as deleted instead of actually removing the data and Thunderbird does not understand the mark.

@copacetic
Check the settings in #Thunderbird. I think, it can deal with deletion markers. All clients have to agree on how to use a shared mailbox.

I looked into this again. I misremembered: iOS Mail does not "mark" deleted mails but is supposed to move deleted Mails on IMAP into a Trash folder (or Archive). That does not happen in my case and I have no clue why. The mail disappears in the app but is unchanged on the server.

What does using thunderbird add for you?

I like having a native Desktop client and Thunderbird is a reasonably good one.
