The NNCPNET Email Network (complete.org)
From 1995 to 2019, I ran my own mail server. It began with a UUCP link, an expensive long-distance call for me then. Later, I ran a mail server in my apartment, then ran it as a VPS at various places.

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.
