推荐一个custom domain邮箱服务

为什么要一个custom domain邮箱?因为我觉得这很酷。

之前我一直都用的是Proton最大的问题就是它太贵了。Proton的Mail Plus一年折合人民币363元。migadu只要19刀一年,学生还有50%优惠,获取方式是用你的migadu邮箱写一封邮件到contact@migadu.com。我是这么写的:

Dear Migadu Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Ziming Li, and I am a current student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. I have recently come across Migadu's email services and am highly impressed by their reliability and user-friendly features. I believe that Migadu would be an excellent tool to support my academic research and project collaborations.

As a student, I operate on a limited budget. I am writing to inquire whether Migadu offers any student discount or special pricing plans. To verify my student status, I have attached a photo of my Student Card to this email. Additionally, my student ID is xxxxxxxxxx.

I am genuinely eager to utilize Migadu's services and would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide regarding a student discount. Your support would enable me to take full advantage of your excellent services for my studies and projects.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. If you require any further information or additional verification, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to your positive response and hope to become a Migadu user soon.

Best regards,

Ziming Li

他们很快就会回信,然后你的账户就会获得50%的优惠。

Proton很有野心,设计了一套闪亮的新Logo,VPN,网盘,啥都搞,积极地宣传他们的品牌。但说实话我对此不感冒,我只是想要一个好用的邮件服务。而不是Proton全家桶,我觉得这和微软谷歌其实没啥两样的。而且经常会收到升级套餐、享受新VPN套餐惊人折扣、黑色星期五等等的推销。

相比之下,Migadu很极简,管理组织和邮件也都非常方便。

关于加密,当然如果你是斯诺登这样的史诗级大反贼的话,使用Proton确实有用。但说实话意义也不是非常大,如果你执着于邮件加密,可以看看下面这个视频。

注意的是,Migadu的存储限制是软性的,所以事实上只要你不要超过太多都无所谓。

支付失败的问题

第一次绑定信用卡支付的时候可能会出现短信明明提示你支出了,但是支付却没有完成的情况。这时候其实是支付没完成,退款会在两三天之后打给你。你急的话可以再付一次。为了安心也可以发一个工单附上各种信息,两三天后那一次没付成功的会退款给你的。

配置

Migadu提供网页端

Android唯一可用的开源邮件客户端也就是ThunderBird和K-9 Mail。Thunderbird for Android就是K-9 Mail,它原来的开发者加入Mozilla了。

电脑端无脑推荐Thunderbird,喜欢用键盘快捷键的搭配tbkeys插件。

Pop是一个用命令行发邮件的小工具,对于喜欢命令行的不可错过。

简单科普:SMTP,IMAP

SMTP是用于发送电子邮件的协议。IMAP用来接收电子邮件的协议。

你可能还听说过POP3,它也是用来接受邮件的协议,但是对于正常用户来说没有IMAP好用。IMAP可以在多个设备上访问相同的邮件,并且在任何设备上的操作都会同步到其他设备。但POP3一旦邮件被下载到本地计算机,它就从邮件服务器上删除了。
