Email Server Setup Missing

Open TheYellowArchitect opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

One of the main benefits of having a website, is also having your very own email. May it be a business (support mail) or youtuber or privacy-aware person, email helps greatly. Especially as your very own email helps you expand on the internet and own your data (by registering anywhere with that email instead of gmail or hotmail or yahoo, so these corporate entities have no power over you)

I discovered the original landchad through https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/w/c1d4KKBe8iQ3sqL6W8vYDp which imo is still superior to the 5 basic articles (though I guess its a text-translation of that video), and the email server part is missing. It could link to mutt-wizard, clawsmail, or even mozilla thunderbird

"There is rainloop" With the new UI of landchad, its impossible to find anything at first glance. You literally have to hover your mouse over EVERY logo element to find a mail server (or something else you are looking for) I even pressed ctrl+f "mail" and it didn't redirect me there. In fact, it redirected me to the bottom of page, with an entry uploaded on 2001(bug), called Mails and that entry is empty.

I suggest hyperlinking the very first line of the landchad.net where it contains "email servers" onto a page which contains an email-hosting tutorial which is finished, e.g. rainloop. In the future, whenever all 4 email server setups are finished, it should simply redirect you to a barebones site, whose only text is:

  1. Neomutt
  2. Claws
  3. Rainloop
  4. Mozilla Thunderbird

Perhaps with a pros/cons or synopsis (e.g. Claws has GUI, Neomutt is for minimalistic vim bindings, and these 2 have never had any leaks or critical flaws in history, unlike other email clients)

Lastly, I suggest placing the above video somewhere as a hyperlink. Perhaps onto the "email servers" at the start? idk. Its too good to be unused and buried.

Anyway, @LukeSmithxyz I deeply thank you for that website, and the server-hosting videos. Simple enough for normies, digestible, and extremely beneficial.

Nice! I am happy to see it is on the works :) Even down to the

I will close this issue whenever email setup is complete
