[gentoo-user] OT:: free pop3 mail box?

[James]

Folks,

I do not want gmail or any other big (brother) organization email.
I just need a simple pop3 (small) email box, in case my
(underconstruction) email server is not happy. Low traffic.
Temporary is fine too.

Suggestions most welcome.

Tia,
James

Sorry, I overlooked that you are searching a free mail provider.
Mailbox.org isn't free of charge, but it isn't expensive and they claim
to respect privacy.

gmx.com   is free, easy and flexible.

They have free email boxes, just for completeness on this thread. Perfect
for testing mail clients, MTA and such.


Thanks!

I thought you said you didn't want Big (Brother).  Sure, GMX ain't Gmail, but 
we're still talking about a multinational megalith here, who's grown through 
acquisitions in different countries.  In any case, if you're dialling in from 
the US, you'll be connecting to their Kansas datacentre and your data will be 
pwned before it ever reaches their servers.  However, they state that they 
treat emails like sealed letters so they remain private and will not sell on 
your details for advertising purposes.

If you have or can get a fixed IP address and own domain name, check out 
ispconfig.org (mail, web, dns, ftp) and iredmail.org (mail). You can run 
either in VirtualBox with 500K ram or on a old laptop. Both run on top 
of Debian, Ubunto, OpenSuse.

I was some years ago annoyed with my mail provider and decided to run 
IRedMail in VirtualBox. Now it's ISPconfig on an old laptop in 
VirtualBox to server as Mail, Web and local DNS server.

Good to know about gmx.com. Still it's just an external account for testing.
More info in the next post.

thx,

ispconfig.org is an interesting solution.

But, I now have (5) statics and fiber, so I'm going traditional with  DNS
servers,  a mail-server(postfix) and a webserver for virtual hosting.
Eventually the web services will run on a cluster.

This does look perfect for a single static IP:: good to know.

thx to all for the help.

Try vfemail.net, and their free Copper Account.  The only downside I've
noticed that the outgoing queue could be slower sometimes.

Btw, they have interesting privacy features.
