They also have regular one time password two factor authentication (6 digit code every 30s) for a while now, in case you tried them while it was still the weird "PIN + OTP" thing

A rebrand, with some new features, a new app etc etc, with not a single mention of adding AI in everything. Amazing.
The new UI is gorgeous
The old one was quite old, the new one is definitely an improvement
PWAs should be the standard. Since you're not enslaved to an app-store
If only they would fix the DMARC issue. That one is really bad. Basically the most problematic issue they have atm.
Can you elaborate on this? What's going on?
That thread is full of unrelated nonsense. Is the issue that someone can spoof your domain by signing up an account with mailbox and then sending email through their servers with your From: address?
PWA are always welcome
For me personally there is not much use in these changes. I only access it through Thunderbird or K9-Mail. I would prefer if they would ease the creation of temporary Mails instead of hiding it in the settings.
Also I need to try out the New 2FA Integration instead of the strange pin+otp login method.
If you have a custom domain with your account, you can setup a catch all alias, then any email address at your domain will arrive in your inbox.
That sounds interesting. I never thought about using it that way. I will give it a try. Thanks for the hint!
I would prefer if they would ease the creation of temporary Mails instead of hiding it in the settings. Yeah me too. I wish they'd integrate with Bitwarden's e-mail address generator. If you e.g. use anonaddy you just paste a anonaddy apikey into Bitwarden and it creates e-mail aliases in anonaddy for you.
Though it would be nice to just use the e-mail alias service from your existing e-mail provider (as you describe with mailbox) rather than buying another 3rd party service.
Yep, I also prefer sticking to my email-provider providing me this kind of service instead of a 3rd party one.
This is really great! While i have been a happy Migadu user for a while im not fan of the new Swizz laws being passed there. Mailbox is looking better than ever!
How is "undo send" supposed to work? I would never trust a mail server that honours a request to delete a mail from a user's inbox.
Edit: Just read that it means "stop it from being sent". I don't know in how many milliseconds you'd have to click that button, but that's fine.
Gmail has an undo send feature, in reality, every email you send through Gmail is delayed by something like thirty seconds, and if you click undo send within that time, it simply wonโt send the email
So 30.000 ms. Should be doable :)
I'm thinking of buying. Any thoughts?
I'm a fan. Bought it this summer, been slowly moving it over, and I enjoy it.
I am using it since like 5 years (?) and had no major problems with it. Only downsides where the ugly implementation of 2FA at the beginning and the bad support for e-mail encryption/signing.
What's wrong with the encryption/signing
For me the overall handling was bad in their frontend if you just wanted to use it for specific mails. If you wanted to encrypt your whole inbox it was working just fine. But then you had no possibility to decrypt the mails in their frontend and relied on using 3rd party browser extensions.
And you had no way to bind the public key to your account and make it accessible for everyone publicly.
And you had no way to bind the public key to your account and make it accessible for everyone publicly.
What do you mean by this?
For example I would expect them to have a keyserver hosting the public Keys of their customers and making sure that only the real customer is able to update his public Key. So nobody else can publish a public key for a given E-Mail without being the owner of the E-Mail.
An ideal implementation could be Web Key Directory (short WKD).
I did a quick search if mailbox.org supports WKD. It looks like mailbox.org Guard somehow supports it, but I never tried it. So maybe it is worth having a look at that.
Have been using them more and more. Zero problem so far.
I can't even register. "an error occurred while creating the account. Please try again later" oof
Sorry to hear. Maybe they are facing a lot of registrations following the rebranding
