DMA complaint against Apple for not enabling Tuta email app as default on iOS (tuta.com)
We at Tuta work hard to offer a privacy-respecting alternative to Big Tech communication offerings. We are a forerunner in secure communications with the implementation of quantum-safe encryption. And while this is already a lot of effort, we are met with even more obstacles - and unnecessary ones for that matter. Over the last two months, Apple has continuously ignored our requests so that Tuta Mail can be set as the default email app on iOS devices.

New in Gmail: Making E2E encrypted emails easy to use for all organizations (workspace.google.com)
At Google, we believe that secure, confidential communication should be available for organizations of all sizes. However, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) email was historically a privilege reserved for organizations with significant IT resources, due to the complexity of S/MIME and proprietary solutions.

How IMAP works under the hood (lohr.dev)
The technology behind E-Mails (or ‘emails‘) always interested me. This is because in some sense it was way ahead of its time by being a decentralized communication system.

Building an idempotent email API with River unique jobs (riverqueue.com)
We use an email service to send out various River-related notifications. Despite our best efforts setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, we were still getting reports of mail going to spam, so we started looking into alternate mailing providers to see how they'd fare by comparison. Something we noticed while researching is that a shocking low number of them have API facilities to guarantee idempotency — a surprise because email is such a sensitive topic.

Hi HN! For those who aren't using a @gmail.com, what are you using? I'm trying to migrate off @gmail.com because of platform risk, but coming up with a domain name is hard! It must be professional! Bonus points if I can share the domain with family members for their use too.

Phlex for Rails Emails: Action Mailer Without ERB (camillovisini.com)
Writing Ruby all day is fun, but writing Ruby in HTML is not. In the past months, I found switching from Ruby to ERB views and partials to be interrupting my flow and therefore increasingly annoying. Enter Phlex, which is a Ruby library that allows you to write HTML (components, views, layouts) in pure Ruby. After already completely ditching ERB for Phlex in Rails views for multiple applications, I wanted to see if I could do the same for Action Mailer.

Ask HN: Why there's no email address portability like with phone numbers? (ycombinator.com)
Phone number portability has been standard worldwide for years, allowing us to switch carriers while keeping our numbers. Yet email addresses, which have become more important than phone numbers over the last 20 years or so, lack any similar portability mechanism.
