What is a good alternative to gmail online? Also any steps to prevent android from deleting parler from phone.

Posted on 01/10/2021 7:35:18 AM PST by bluescape

I use gmail online for most email correspondence. Is there another easy online email service I can get started in case..you know. Sh** starts getting real?

Also Kimberly Willingham had these step for preventing apple from deleting Parler from you phone.

Does someone know similar steps to take with an android that is using Parler?

Steps for preventing Apple from deleting Parler from your phone:

1. Go to settings; 2. Click on “screen time” 3. Click: “Content & Privacy Restrictions” 4. Click: “iTunes and App Store Purchases” 5. Click: “Deleting Apps” 6. Click: “Don’t Allow”

Proton mail free only gave me three folders to save emails to.

Another thing is pay a little money and get a VPN. Your ISP is recording everything you do. It may be encrypted, but they can figure that if you go to the amazon page for Tide you are in the market for laundry detergent. A VPN hides all that and a good one doesn’t look and doesn’t keep records. Free VPNs are a sham. They are just standing in for your ISP spying on your traffic. Again, you gotta reach in your little pocket and pay if you want to be treated like a human being and not a commodity.

Your internet provider may offer one or more free email accounts.

Mine does.

If you have an iPhone or iPad it comes with email

Yeah, but the whole idea is to get AWAY from Apple, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, etc., not more enmeshed in them.

You can sideload the Parler app on Android. Instructions abound on the Web for that.

iOS users are screwed unless you jailbreak your iPhone - which will lead to other issues.

Gab is the best bet right now, as they are not dependent on apps and have their own servers.

On my iPhone, I was able to create a Gab icon that functions just like an app. Basically you navigate to Gab on your mobile browser and create a shortcut to your home screen (Safari is best for this). You then get a shortcut with the Gab logo and it functions just like any other app.

Gab did an excellent job coding their website to be optimal on a mobile browser.

Kudos to them. Once they get their extra servers online, they will likely be the go to place for conservative social media as big tech is unable to shut them down. Trump is likely to move to that platform as well.

“Proton mail free only gave me three folders to save emails to.”

It costs money to provide email service. Computers cost money and use electricity. Where do people get the idea that it is all free? If you do not want to pay regular money, then go back to gmail and pay them with your formerly private information.

Calm down. I’m just letting people know, just in case they’d rather try something else. I guess to you information shouldn’t be free, either...

"I don’t trust any free email or online service, especially now."

If the product you are using is free, you are the product.

At the Free level, you get 500MB of storage. I think that you can migrate your G-Mail.

Does the NSA have a back door?

Yes. Whether they were given one or not.

As has been said many times, YOU are the product. If you want secure and private email, you have to pay.

Exactly. I have a personal E-mail account via my ISP (it is not one of The Big Boys), and they have a secure E-mail service supported by their OWN E-mail servers. I also created a Proton Mail account to replace the Yahoo account that have had for ages as a sort of general mail box.

Do they not have POP access? If so, then all your mail is on your local device. You can set up all the folders you want. Who wants their mail on the Web anyway?

You do not need the app to access Parler. It’s a website. Go to Parler.com in your browser.

Never, ever use online mail of any type. Think that out? Do you really want snoopy leftists mail server admins reading your all of mail? Of anyone else of the same ilk?

Use a scheme like this:

For a PC use Outlook (or equivalent) and POP3, so emails are downloaded and stored locally and removed from the mail server, NOT LEFT SITTING OUT THERE. On your mail server, setup forwarded copies to your cell phone, at a different email address. Store those locally on your cell. Rest in peace that all of your emails are local.

parler.com should be dead soon too. They are hosted on AWS. Besos killed them. Only silver lining in all of this is that patriots now know they must leave the silicon valley infrastructure completely, and build our own. Likely to to be slow, expensive, and frustrating going through growing pains, but must be done.

Well it’s a comfort to know free email providers will not cut you off if they find out you are a “Trump Supporter.” But aren’t these the same big tech companies that are censoring everything else? It’s so nice of them to let us have privacy to say anything we want on their free email systems!/Off SARC
