       What I find most interesting about Basecamps new email service is that they, like many other newish email providers and increasingly also older ones, prioritize the ability to offer certain features over following standard email protocolsIt somehow feels as if the era of imap/smtp and using standards compliant apps from other developers comes to an endNot sure how I feel about this

       @julianruf @schlink I’m sure how I feel about it: no way. Whatever else about Gmail, it’s trivial to pull all my mail down locally, archive it, and delete my account. I have zero desire to be locked into a specific app. What happens when they make 90 day data retention a higher subscription tier? You’re going to pay it or lose your data, that’s what.I think the Hey people are a pretty good crew with good intentions. Now imagine that Oracle buys them.

       @tek That’s definitely one of the reasons why I haven’t switched to one of the newer, more closed email services either so far.
