I've already made the switch and I don't regret it, it took me hours to move everything from one account to another
To simplify the transition of all the services I created a python script that reads the mbox file from google and writes in a list all the services that have sent me emails without duplicates
i deleted 5 mail, now i have only 2, one mail i can't delete. the other after i transfer all my account on icloud ill delete. sorry for my english
Thank you guys
i tried with thunderbird but i can't login
I have iCloud plu$. I’ve tried Gmail account in app mail but I didn’t like it, but I will try again
for me it would be useless (I think) to buy a domain, I don't send many emails (about a couple a month) I just have to receive them. in my country we only use whatsapp for everything, emails only when you have to deal with government services or sign-up to social media and stuff
looking at the site I found it but it tells me that I don't have any suitable device, I have an iPhone 15 so I don't think it's the fault of the device but of the country
in my country we don't use text messages or emails to contact but whatsapp (so no emails) I have 7 gmail accounts, 1 main one, a secondary one that I manage for a family member and another older one that I have just for nostalgia, I use the others for spam. I only use Apple apps and they work great for me.I could never use proton mail as the main one, the apple services I use are: reminders, apple maps, imessage, drive, and other apple apps, they work. owned by google I only use youtube and gmail
do you know the name of the new service?
I don't know where you live but here in Italy when I discovered Applecare it had already expired without the possibility of activating it

I know, it sounds stupid, but I recently bought an iPhone and I use Windows as the main OS (Linux as the second). I'm going crazy deciding because I've had Gmail for 5 years with over 20,000 emails and iCloud Mail with just 30. I'd like to switch from Gmail to iCloud, but I'm afraid that if I lose the iPhone and switch to Android it won't be the same anymore.On the iPhone I also have ADP...
I thought the photos (the script only downloads the photos) were public and could be downloaded

im on android, windows,linux= no apple
yes I know it, I immediately thought it was connected to simplelogin but it isn't, nice app but it's not good
syncthing is not good for me, I don't like using third parties
as I already said I have tried them all, I spent hours on reddit, I like Obsidian but I don't like paying to synchronize, I don't like syncthing because I have to have the phone turned on while for standardnotes it takes 1 minute to synchronize without using third parties
synchronization isn't good for me, it must be cloud, not via third-party software.
notesnook is open source. I just finished trying joplin and I didn't like it, I use standardnotes because it has everything I'm looking for, except the ability to create folders, I also use it because it was purchased by proton. I also used obisidian and logseq ( and many others ) but so far SN wins
to be honest I don't think my expectations are too high, I'm just looking for something similar to standardnotes

hi, I'm looking for an app for notes, E2E and open source, and which has synchronization, do you have any ideas? I now use standardnotes, I found notesnook but until they do an audit I won't use it, I'll keep some scripts inside (python, java and go) as well as things to do. sorry for my english
