Evolution Mail Users Easily Trackable

Between my network ad blocker and VPN, I’m lucky for an email that is anything beyond formatted text to render properly anymore.

I’ve practically given up on clicking any sort of links from marketing emails as they are full of multiple redirect trackers. Which, is a shame, as these are obviously from companies I care to keep up with and support.

Email will always have its place, but I agree the default email experience we all know shouldn’t default to essentially a viewport.

Mine blocks any external resources unless you choose to download them with a button on the top of the email. Helps lower their ability to track as well, on top of the other precautions.

But yeah, it's pretty horrendous by default.
