Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.
Something smol like:
- one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
- in a French datacenter
- 128 Mb of storage
- 10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
- 10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
- limited sent per hour (no spam)
- IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
- Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
- autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)
Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?
Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

I know, I also use deltachat... but I want to propose something closer to email standard. With chatmail or deltachat, you are not sure that your recipient is able to get your message with his/her standard email address.
@adele mmmh good point, that would be unencrypted/not-private tho, but in some situations it doesn't matter much, I would prefer (dream 😅) if the whole email ecosystem moves to a model where all email is e2e encrypted and the providers can't not read your correspondence
btw with Delta Chat your recipient will get the message normally in their standard email client, the restriction comes from chatmail servers to avoid spam, if you use normal email server with DC it will be compatible
@adbenitez Yes, I agree, general e2ee would be great, but it is not the current standard for email. There are other protocol for that (xmpp/omemo for example). You can also use gnupg with your mails.
