@wizardi3 Far from being convinced that you will be able to convince European UT users, and not only, to join an email provider located in the United States, but you are right to try as a boss. You will need really strong arguments.

@marekf Please, there is no political judgment on the forum. The UT community is cosmopolitan. Everyone is welcome here and helps according to their knowledge, which allows UT to progress.

We are based in the United States, we believe that provides the best combination of freedom in how we operate and the user information we are required to keep.

Sorry to disappoint, but those of us in Europe are unlikely to trust a US company unless it can be differentiated from the dozens or even hundreds of competitors ostensibly offering the same service.

We have users around the world, and users that travel the world. My comment about our location was technical, not political. How is it technical and not political, because countries have treaties with other countries which means one may be subject to unknown agreements . In Europe those treaties involve 54+ countries. A case in point https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip-address-of-french-activist-after-order-by-swiss-authorities/

I am not here to convince you, I am sorry I mentioned it. I am here to test the privacy of UT phones at the request of some users. The question is now moot as my UT phone and theirs become paper weights after October 1, 2022 as UT does not support VoLTE.

No

No, I'm here because I use Ubuntu on as my primary OS on my personal and business computers and I am interested in the privacy aspects of a Linux phone. I am trying to decide which phone to get , I have a Nexus 5x bullhead but it is not supported. As a matter of fact I have several phones and none are supported. I am leaning toward a Pixel 3a XL, suggestions?

Re: Email application

I have tried Nexus 5 (ran into well known wifi issues), Pine64 (cannot be updated by Ubports) and OnePlus 1.

My current favorite is the OnePlus 1. The only issues I am having that prevent using as a daily driver are:

power consumption is still very high requiring charging more than once a day (under light use).
Dekko 2 bug in it's 'Spam' folder where it does not show recent items.

Your comments encourage me to try my mail provider's (Fastmail) webmail.

Update: Fastmail's webmail crashes the Morph browser a few seconds after launch. My issues with Dekko 2 are preventing me from using UBP as a daily driver.

It's a very nice device! And there is good news.

@rsmereka Do you have javascripts enabled, webmail requires it.

@rsmereka Can you try on devel channel, we have updated QtWebEngine there and it might work

wizardi3

@rsmereka I logged into our service and protonmail on Nexus 5 using Morph no problems all features work Using our client checked gmail and outlook.com also no problem.

@rsmereka Are you trying to connect to your email provider's webmail using WiFi or cellular data?
