Fastmail

It's a gateway between one of the three big providers or four big providers.

There's no real, like there are a few people out there, ProtonMail, FastMail, a few providers like that who still deal with these protocols.

But Google, like for Google, SNMP is a secondary, that's only something they support to be interoperable with people who, aren't on their gateways kind of a thing.

So that feels like another big area to me of service consolidation that a lot of people just don't really think about, but it's a huge deal.

Don't read this but read this.

And if you connect something with an MCP server like Bear or Fastmail, so granular.

You could say don't read but write.

Maybe you want it to write drafts for you but not actually look at your email.

You've probably solved half your problems there.

I'm on Fastmail, so yeah, I just use the Fastmail client, which then pulls in all my other, like my old Hotmail and stuff, but the primary, like scotthelm.co.uk and reportyouride.com are on Fastmail.

So anyway, part of the solution is to take the client out of the picture.

But that's the thing that renders the signature, though,

There are quite a few listeners from the statistics on the podcast, but as far as active, this is not a video game stream.

There's no volume like that.

This is a song by a group called the Bottle Rockets and it's called Radar Gun.

And I think, sorry, now I'm just gonna keep talking about it, but I think that the, uh, the next feature that I'm really excited to share and launch, uh, which is the, the personal inbox, right? A replacement for Gmail, um, using your Atmosphere account.

I think that will really hopefully bring a lot of, um, excitement, vision, and also just other people hopefully recognizing the vision of Comail in that I don't wanna just be, you know, Fastmail or Proton Mail or anything like that.

Like, the, the mission is truly that you own your email.

We all own it, right? And you have to have a control and a say in what that looks like.

So email is such a great example 'cause like, yes, you can get a Gmail and it's really easy to do, but like Google is an advertising company, and they probably are like scanning all your emails for like what they can advertise to you.

Like that's a thing that's probably happening.

Uh, whereas you could go to like Fastmail, which is another provider, you know, it's another company, um, but they make different guarantees about your data.

Um, they're still managing it for you on your behalf.
