A mailbox for Christmas

2025-12-18 09:45

Christmas is often the time when geeks get bombarded with technical questions from their loved ones. Last year, I gave my opinion on Gmail accounts and was asked what alternative to use for email. I was a bit stumped for an answer: ProtonMail or Tuta? But they regularly encourage users to switch to their paid service and use their other services (VPN, drive, password vault, etc.). What's more, standard email clients are not compatible.

That's what gave me the idea to offer message.casa, an email account (with an XMPP account) that is limited in size but free and complies with standard IMAP/POP3/SMTP protocols.

So, if you too are asked about email accounts at Christmas, you can suggest message.casa ;-)
