Setting up Protomail anonymously Anonymous 09/11/2019 (Wed) 07:08:48 No.84
I'm trying to set up an email account to use with my board here, but my old 8chan.co email apparently won't receive emails now. I want to go ahead and set up a Protonmail account, but in the setup process they ask you to fight 'spam' by confirming your identity with either email, SMS, or a donation. I tried several of the burner emails from guerrilla mail, but proton say these are all 'temporarily disabled, please try another'.

I certainly have no plans to give them a real email or phone number, and don't have a good way to give them a donation to help 'fight spam'. Any suggestions /tech/?

>with either email, SMS, or a donation
that shit happened to me when i was trying to make another email while using the tor browser, then i just switched to a normal one and I got the (((captcha))) option.

The whole point is anonymity anon, but thanks for the clarification. I'd prefer not to give them an IP either.

just use cock.li
>>87
hmm. it's already not working, since 8chan.co isn't, am i correct anon?
>>88
Works for me™.
>>88
i mean the cock.li domain or another one
>>89

I see. So, I'm assuming you're saying that a cock.li account would work with Protonmail? I just ass.u.med that since they provide the backend to 8chan.co that they were naturally down everywhere. I'll try it anon.
>>86
well, you could always go to an internet cafe or use a mcdonalds wifi, set up the email account, go back home and set another password.
>>88
8chan.co addresses are broken, they can only send and receive from other accounts on cock.
Or at least that's what I've been told.
Do you really need ProtonMail? https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/email.html#ProtonMail. Try Dismail or https://danwin1210.me/mail/. Actually Riseup is the best but you need an invite code.

Thanks for the info anon, I'll look into it.
>>109
It should be noted that those are both run by radical leftists.

fug, with jewgle fugging up overall i need to get a stable email SP ASAP for my online games.
with Wow biting the dust finally after being killed by itself twice over that really does just mean warfarme and dest2/steam but google's taken to new lows so i don't even feel like using them for anything i specifically don't need to, like say applying to techraptor or nichegamer for a job.
but it's not like there any non-leftoid MS email service provider, they're intent on making sure of that.
>>709
just get your own domain and your own hosting and manage email by yourself. With a domain you can point the email anywhere, even have backups in case your primary is ever unavailable.
This is cheap and easy. For infinite archiving and searching, download email to your own stuff.

Here yah go for riseup
theres tutanoa i guess. nothing extra needed, run by germans even though "theyre about privacy"

What about Freedombone running on a little SBC like a Beaglebone or one of the Chink knockoffs of SJWPi?

is it possible to transfer everything from an old gmail account to another service, or is it better to abandon the gmail account altogether. i dont think i have much attached to it, just vidya logins
>>109
Services that pretend to keep your data safe from court orders sound suspiciously like honey pots.
Use a secure paid provider and aliases or self-host for business purposes to limit tracking and abandon email altogether for secure personal communication.
You can use certain free ones too, but they're often very limited regarding IMAP/POP3 and aliases, and there's a bigger chance they're scams or go bust.
Also you risk getting caught up in other people's issues like when cock.li's servers got raided by German police.
>>964
Only manually, just search for things attached to it that have any worth to you and change the address on those services.
>>964 just download your old emails using POP3, you can do it easily with Evolution or Thunderbird, and redirect all email from your old gmail address to your new email address.
>>1375 Ive heard of Thunderbird from people making vista builds. Does linking Thunderbird to gmail leak any information to google?
>>1405 >Does linking Thunderbird to gmail leak any information to google? I'm not sure what informations you are talking about, but if you consider that Gmail is literally Google's mail service, any kind of action on your Gmail account will be recorded by Google. In particular, if you redirect like >>1375 suggests, the mail will still pass through Google's servers before being sent to the new address.
>>1410 Sorry, scrap the last line, I misread what the anon was trying to say. Anyway, you are probably better off simply abandoning the account altogether.
