[Members] Re: XSF Communication Team needs a new email account provider

TLDR: XSF Communication Team is asking to switch to mailbox.org for 30 EUR per year. Dear all, We would like to find a new email address for the XSF Communication Team that supports all our growing needs. Protonmail no longer meets these needs for a long time, either for free or at a reasonable price (while still respecting their service). We need such an account because Protonmail asked for a paid subscription to use SMTP with e.g. Thunderbird (yes really). We are also limited in organizing emails and the inbox as this is also restricted in the free plan. Additionally, we are currently blocked to use Reddit and LinkedIn with SocialBu with our Protonmail. We are therefore looking for a decent host that also supports a good level of compliance, privacy under GDPR, and possibly comes with more capabilities at a reasonable price. We have created a service comparison table here: https://pad.nixnet.services/331YAjbUQOmAWa2Octx_DA?view Later on, we could also ask Mailbox.org if they could provide a standard account for free. As they even used to run an XMPP server, they might be willing to support an account. However, I am not sure how such a collaboration should look like. Firstly, we are blocked being fully operational and able to expand as we could at the moment and I would like to switch first. Then we can expand cooperation and maybe even sponsoring. On the other hand, switching to mailbox.org would provide us with additional organisational tooling that could benefit the XSF and the XMPP Community such as custom domains and other office tools they provide. Best regards, Eddie
