Thank you, yes I agree and I'm not interested in hosting my own mail server. I'm just realizing that I don't really understand the difference between a mail provider and a domain, and I've run into issues before with different mail protocol settings (like when I tried to connect a school outlook account to Thunderbird and couldn't get it to work because of (I think) IMAP settings).

It's something I use all the time, and I'd like to better understand how it works.

Good idea, I will have a look at this. Thank you.

Good question, I don't think I'm interested in hosting emails myself. The goal is likely going to be to choose a different provider. But that being said, I'm curious about what "hosting email" even means. The outcome I'm looking for is to be able to have enough understanding to compare different service providers and understand the differences between them.

I'm trying to move away from Google and replace my Gmail account. But reading about the different options, I'm realizing I don't really understand email at all - e.g. the difference between the client and the domain name, the different protocols, encryption.

Does anyone have articles or books to suggest as a "Basics of Email: 101"? Thank you!

I Just started following the rewatch party and trying to catch-up. I've never seen Star Trek before, and I'm looking forward to finding out whether there is any follow-up on the premise of there being a mysterious force at the edge of the galaxy that heightens ESP powers.

What? The corporations aren't getting the tariff refunds. Because they already took a payout of 20-30% of the value of the refund from speculators, like the Commerce Secretary's son Brandon Lutnick, who will be getting the tariff refund.
