    I just like the idea that it’s using stalwart as the collaboration server (mail/calendar/contacts) [1].

    I host my own personal mail server with it and have had no issues so far.

    Who would be able to access my emails at rest?

    If the answer isn’t abso-fucking-lutely no one, I’m not interested.

      How would that work? Their mail server still has to receive emails on your behalf.

      Unless you mean whether they plan to sell data, which I agree they should absolutely not.

        Emails could be end to end encrypted, so the mail server wouldnt be able to see the emails. Basicslly PGP but out-of-the-box

          The problem is that basically no one uses PGP. Adoption would be hard

            But there are workarounds like the one Infomaniak uses (I believe Proton does it too). When sending an encrypted email to a non encrypted user, a link is sent instead of the contents of the email instead. In any case, encryption at rest with user provided keys and things like that are always an option.

      Germany has become kind of a safe haven for a lot of Open Source projects. What’s so bad about it?

          Kind of. But hopefully at a slower rate / more reversible manner than the rest of the world.

          “Turning into”? That sounds like the 2000s, eons ago in internet terms.

    Subscribers to Thunderbird Pro users get 500GB of storage space

    That’s big enough to do disk backups in the mailbox.

        Actually they are working on it, albeit slowly, it seems. Fingers crossed and in the meantime there is davmail.
