The “disobey”¹ onionmail server has been accepting my POP3 logins without issue for months/years. There has been “no new messages” for as long as I can remember and I have also not sent mail for a long time. Then I tried sending myself a message and I get “500 Mailbox full”. Yet my inbox is empty.

It’s quite disturbing because I have no idea when the admin apparently decided out of the blue to delete my account. It might have an automated removal, perhaps due to such sparse/rare traffic. But regardless, it makes it hard to trust any #onionmail server because they all run the same code. This same scenario occurred on another onionmail server as well.

Does anyone here use onionmail?

Report problems with a service here that is unrelated to user-controlled client side software. Thus servers and web clients are fair game. This is a catch-all for situations not accommodated by the following related communities:

!bugs@sopuli.xyz - for bugs in third-party software apps
!isitdown@infosec.pub - for downtime status on Lemmy instances specifically (although they accept reports on any fedi node)
!assholedesign_web@infosec.pub - for deliberate enshitification of web services specifically
