(Quote) Makes sense. Here is what I've noticed (only one man, one CardDAV, so not a statistically valid finding): In terms of performance, when uploading and especially updating and deleting contacts: * MXroute's Crossbox Nextcloud 24 performs ve…
-
(Quote) Maybe it was just me - but from what I can see, many (most?) Nextcloud providers don't rush the updates. I did not have luck with a patch update (which should generally not be a problematic thing - and yes, no Nextcloud expert so my setup ma…
-
(Quote) Rat race - like PHP versions. IMO - stable beats new. :)
-
(Quote) I think the main point is that it's a stable version - if a bit old. Having said that, The Good Cloud also seems to work very well - though I'm not 100% sure which Nextcloud version they are running (I expect it is one that is stable, maybe …
-
(Quote) Plan stays the same regardless: we first attack Bulgaria, to gain access to the sea!
-
(Quote) Yeah - I put a link to a Reddit discussion about that. And to my own ordeal with latest Nextcloud version. :) So, based on that - it's helped me sort my contacts out and make them work with Em Client too. It seems like it's running just f…

(Quote) Yup, that's €2 if you pay for a year in advance, and €3.5 if you pay monthly. That should work for me. Worth keeping in mind. Sticking with MXroute's Crossbox Nextcloud platform for the time being - it works perfectly fine for what I need.
-
(Quote) Does it host CardDAV?
-
(Quote) After some problems with eM Client contacts sync, I've concluded that Nextcloud is probably the safest bet for contacts after all. But, properly managed one, ideally not the latest & greatest version. :) MXroute offers Nextcloud via Cr…
-
(Quote) MXroute hosts Nextcloud via Crossbox webmail. That instance works well. In fact, it helped me fix my CardDAV issues so I got eM Client contacts to work and sync normally (import to MXroute's Nextcloud, then export, then import to MXroute C…
-
(Quote) I usually wait before updating, but I did this to troubleshoot eM Client address book bug. Hasn't helped - but that's probably eM Client related, since with MXroute CardDAV Betterbird and Iphone work fine, only eM Client can't read most of …
-
(Quote) It does - though I was "wise" enough to remove that - sigh. It does feel too much like a zip-tie and WD40 solution ("on glass legs" as is a local saying). Maybe Hetzner's managed solution is more solid, but that would s…

(Quote) Firefox sync or export for bookmarks. MXroute’s CardDAV support for contacts and calendar. RSS client will be missed though.
-
The latest Nextcloud patch (32.0.5) broke CardDAV on IOS and Floccus bookmark sync on all systems. One bug gets fixed, new bug gets introduced. This looks like more hassle than is worth it. I’m switching to alternative solutions.

(Quote) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj55Zk7oY-Y Good call.
-
(Quote) Yes. GDPR is discriminatory. For EU companies or companies targeting EU citizens there aren’t options to avoid it. I try to avoid it.
-
(Quote) I haven't found any problems with it over the years for practically every use. Deliverabilty, availability - top class. What do you find lacking with MXroute in particular?
-
(Quote) Looking forward to this. If you plan to sell any lifetime deals (at reasonable cost, with the idea to avoid monthly charges, not to get stuff for free/supercheap), I'd be happy to support with my $. :)
-
(Quote) Asking, not arguing: My impression is that this boils down to provider's policy and integrity - a lot more than it has to do with their server or business registration location. Cloudflare vs Italy, for example: https://x.com/eastdakota/st…
-
(Quote) Important difference is that Google can kill my account without any fault of my own or any explanation. I trust Jarland and Francisco a lot more than I trust Google. Also, using my domain email - even if a provider is just closed, I can hos…
-
(Quote) I am not sure I'm following you. With POP3 support, I could use MXroute MX and SMTP, and store emails on Gmail. Gmail was working as a mail client + mail storage.
-
(Quote) I'm not selling it, just explaining the reasons - for me and others (as I encountered them). My 10 GB lifetime MXroute plan could serve dozen emails easily for as long as POP3 is used to move emails from the server. Google allowed that, plus…
-
(Quote) You can use the free Gmail app and browser to have your emails wherever you go - without storing the emails on your server (they are stored on Google). Google also has very good spam and phishing protection - but I'm not sure how that fares…
-
(Quote) That is an admirable feat to achieve IMO. When google finally disables POP3 support, we may see a lot more people using forwarding (unless majority are already using it that way). I still refuse (and recommend against) adding more steps un…
-
(Quote) I think this has more to do with the provider in particular than it has with the country. Also, US in particular has a lot of leverage globally. I mean - it is possible that a US or EU provider can easily dismiss a request from Serbia for e…
-
(Quote) This was clear before Snowden came out - after he came out it was proven (officially). Situation in my country is very similar in those terms (you can get labeled as criminal/terrorst/foreign mercenary) and put in prison - with or without e…
-
(Quote) Exactly - you can't affect how recipient configures their infrastructure to begin with. You need not deliberately add relays. SMTP encryption is hop-by-hop and the sender has no visibility or control over the recipient's internal MTAs, filt…

Tuta mail is a great example of a very, very privacy & GDPR focused marketing: https://tuta.com/security With all the privacy and zero knowledge talk, that can not work outside the closed network of Tuta users - sending outside of it is bound …
-
(Quote) It boils down to integrity and trust IMO. Hell, despite everything, I expect a US company to be in a better position to protect free speech and privacy than any EU-regulated company/location. Could be wrong, but that's how I see it.
-
(Quote) See ticket #CRANE-18478 from 2025-12-12. (Quote) It sounds like this is specific to the US1 cluster. Is there a plan to remediate US1, or would migration to EU or US2 be the practical solution for affected users? What would you recommend?…
-
(Quote) I could not find a cheaper price per GB of storage - plus it is one-time payment so no card/payment worries (even though the subscription price is very low too ($20 per three years for a 100 GB plan). Not super stable for transactional emai…
-
(Quote) Great. That is handy. When will the contact list import limit be raised over 10 MB? Is that a SmarterMail imposed limit or something else?
-
(Quote) IMO, forwarding is a bad idea in the long run. Opinions differ, but that's mine. I would not rely on forwarding as a default solution for my "main" email. Sure, if an employee is fired, forwarding their company email to the offic…
