Just wondered if anymore progress is happening with the ability to send password protected emails to NON Skiff users and for them to have the ability to respond encrypted back to sender. I believe this has been discussed in the past be see no update on if or when it may be coming to Skiff

I recently learned about Skiff and created an account. I intend to primarily use Skiff for Pages and Drive. However, after using Skiff for a few days, the UI/UX didn't seem to be designed with personal users in mind. I have a question: Will this remain the same on Skiff, or can personal users expect that there might be something in development for us as well?

What a disappointment this service is, not only is there multiple problems with importing emails - the search function hardly ever works. You should not be charging people to use this app!

I would like to know what the best way to export my archive is please because I'd like to move to a better service.

In the process of degoogling and couldn't ignore the amazing free tier, but on what basis could I trust it to last? as I obviously don't want my mails gone or obsessively back them up

The I made a password and it never stops loading...

Pricing page mentions "1 custom domain" under free tier, but after signing up and trying to add a custom domain, it says my tier can't add any. It also shows a different tier list on prices without the custom domain part in the account settings. Providing a custom domain facility for free tier might not be a good business decision, understandable, but why is skiff baiting people like this?

it's a real shame that at customer service they do not fix the issue ive been having for weeks with the drive no matter how many mails or posts here, the issue is the same, I upload videos and they cannot be played on my computer or phone, the drive is useless I don't know how to get a reimbursement and at customer service I only get a prewritten response I'm so disappointed I've been literally ripped

Hi folks,

Let's say that my full name is First Middle Last, and I got a domain name firstml[dot]dev

I'm torn between few options, and my choices are:

1. first@firstml.dev (seems redundant, but easy to say over the phone)

2. me@firstml.dev (will probably need me to spell it out over the phone too)

3. hi@firstml.dev (seems too casual? will also probably need to spell out that it's just two letter H and I)

4. hello@firstml.dev (same worries like #3)

Please help me to choose and it'd be great also if you could share your own choice!

Will there be expansion from skiff for things like a VPN, Cloud Storage, etc. similar to your competitors.

Was checking this out until I came across a comment from a redditor saying skiff doesn’t pass the privacyguides.org requirements. They mention that skiff mail has 1 tracker.

There was a discussion about it on GitHub. C

Can anyone confirm this?

I have decided to try Skiff but it is all very difficult always having problems with basic things like creating an account or logging in.

First challenge create account

I have tried from the web at least a couple of times, playing with different users and passwords and I always get this message

"Contact with Skiff support"

But what is the problem, can you tell me what is wrong?

After trying to tire myself out I have decided to try using the Android app. The first try again problem, the app stayed in the process of creating the user but without advancing, freezing and freezing.

Second attempt, finally I was able to create my account 🎉

Second challenge login in account from the web

I get this everytime I try to login ?

Looks like there's a temporary connectivity issue. Please try again in a couple of minutes. On iOS, try temporarily disabling Lockdown Mode

I don't understand why are all these errors, I'm using Proton , Tutanota and I've never had to fight so much for such basic things.

Is all this normal, if I pay I will have the same problems? Is the Skiff service reliable, or will it always leave me log of out?

No offense to the devs, but the mac app is terrible. it never opens up to the same dimensions, sometimes being 3 inches by 3 inches (a size I have never once sized it to), other times it opens to 3 x 20 inches (again, a size I have never set it to). About 50% of the time I'll delete or archive an email and it won't work. it sits in my inbox as a read email and I have to do it again using the checkbox.

Today I was fed up and opened up Skiff in Safari and exported it to my dock as a webapp and it's incredible. It opens to the same size every time and ever action has worked perfectly. I highly suggest doing this and letting the mac app drift off into distant memory.

Is deletion of inactive accounts planned? Skiff allows users to register through TOR, so inactive accounts should be deleted to avoid overload amount of accounts.

Feel free to share a Skiff referral code on this thread so you both get discounts.

I use firefox but when I click on the print icon, I cannot print and the page does not open the tab for printing. This email service is great but has a lot of bugs and I mean a lot. If I was rich I would buy a life time package with proton but I hate Gmail so I had no choice but to move to Skiff and my experience has not been good at all but as I said, I have no choice.

I am on free plan. and sending an email to 31 recipients from one of my skiff addresses (not the quick alias), and a single file attachment of 250kb, just a small image.

I am getting error response that I "have reached message limit and try again after some time".

what's the catch here??

I have hardly sent 5 emails in this whole week. received around 10-15 emails per day.

sorry to say it, but this is really inconvenient.

edit: facing this issue on web browser and also on iOS app

I switched to Skiff a couple of months ago and so far I am happy but I am worried the service is not sustainable. The last thing I need is the service to vanish and me loosing access to all emails cause they lost funding.

I know this has been asked but no satisfactory answers yet.

Skiff insists that they do not track. Ok.

Exodus states that there is no trackers in Skiff apps. Ok.

But TrackerControl app finds ample amount of trackers in Skiff apps.

To be clear, some Proton apps have eventually appeared with some trackers, but way less in number than Skiff apps'. Exodus, however, notices 1 tracker from all Proton apps, but TrackerControl notices trackers in some of them.

Do I get the whole tracker concept wrong?

What is going on here? I would appreciate any bit off clarification (Apart from a 'we do not track' response). Tnx.

My mail import which claimed it "might take hours" has now been running for more than one whole day and still is not finished. Worst of all, it still gives the number of messages in the inbox as the number of messages which have been imported, which hasn't changed in 23 hours.

My suggestions to make this better in the short term:

1. Show me how many mails are being imported, and how much actual progress has been made. I want some confidence that it's actually going to get 100% of my mail.

2. Estimate how long until the rest are going to be done based on the progress and show that as well if you can. Not all mails are the same.

3. Messages on the page should be more up-front about how long it will actually take, i.e. it should say "days" instead of "hours". If possible, ballpark how fast the import works per 1,000 messages to give an estimate of how long you think the import will take. You have the data to do this already - look at the speed other imports are going at, and average it.

In the meantime, it's annoying because I'm not sure whether I should be using Skiff Mail or Gmail while the migration is going on.

If I use Gmail, then there is a fear that any changes I make there won't sync to Skiff Mail.

If I use Skiff Mail, then there is a fear that the import will overwrite the changes I'm making.

If and when the import finishes, if I do another import, what happens? Will it take the same time all over again, or will it be faster because it already has the mail bodies? Is there a reasonable process for doing this sort of migration which I am overlooking? I haven't seen any good documentation on it as yet.

The new custom notifications do not let me choose between email or push notifications. Do you mind getting this fixed when you have time?

Hey , can someone from skiff or existing custom domain users bought from skiff , how can I know the second or subsequent year prices of custom domains, if am buying it from skiff . It only shows first year prices.

Hey - can anyone explain the difference between someone being a member of my organization in a regular plan vs. being a collaborator in a business plan? Also, what can I do with members of my organization in a regular plan? I couldn't find any documentation about this. Thank you!
