of email travails
coupla months ago my mowing bloke's hideous gmail business account stopped receiving any emails from my disroot addy, after being fine for very many years
initially i assumed it was my disroot account at fault, not least but not only coz of their current ongoing server disaster https://state.disroot.org/status/disroot-state ... even though his gmail account stopped receiving my emails some time before disroot fell over
however extensive testing i did failed to find any problem, as i can continue to send & receive with my various disroot addies to/from elsewhere, just fine
so i then suspected it's a Him Problem... he's not geeky in any way, & has no interest in doing any troubleshooting even if he knew how
mysteriously though, i found he can interact with my proton account just fine... but i dislike needing to use it & in fact would prefer to dump it given the horrible proton ceo & his insane slopification fetish
so i did a week or two of research & decided i liked the sound of posteo, hence yesterday paid for an account there. set it all up just so, including totp 2fa, alias, POP3 in
, all tickety boo. did a lotta test emails between my various accounts, 100% successful. so then sent a test email from it to my mowing bloke. nada, nil, zilch, 🦗🦗🦗
now i am wracked with indecision. though posteo looks excellent, the sole rationale for buying it [hitherto all my various other email accounts are free] was to have a viable non-proton alternative for ongoing comms with my mowing bloke. given it seems his fucken awful gmail shit is also rejecting my new account, what's the damn point of me keeping it? i might as well cancel it inside the 14-day cool-off period & get my refund, & just use sms hereafter for my mowing bloke, & keep using my disroot accounts with everyone else
fucken gmail shit! 😡🖕 🤢🤮
