Posteo email considered unprofessional?
Posteo email considered unprofessional?
Have any of you heard up Posteo being flagged unprofessional? I recently heard someone say that I am curious if there is truth to it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Posteo is great for business. It's a professional and competent company that respects your privacy to a good degree, and has a clue about security. In a sense it's MORE professional than trying to DIY, unless you really know what you're doing. I would feel encouraged to see a business use Posteo when I receive the email. It tells me that your business probably cares a little about security and/or privacy and possibly the environment too. Total kudos for using Posteo from me.
What I think is completely unprofessional is to use your ISP's address for business email. The number one unprofessional business move, in my opinion, is to have your business website on Facebook/Meta, Twitter or any other enshitified corporate social media site. You won't get my business. I'll go anywhere else no matter how inconvenient.

Makes sense, but what if I had my website linked to Mastodon, and I had an Onion version as well, and ... you can pay me in crypto if you want.. 🙂..
How professional do you think that would be ? If at all ?
Fair enough. I could be happy to purchase if given more/better options. In fact, having the ability to do business from different platforms or self host is smart. Not having all your eggs in one basket is preferable. I was speaking more to people/businesses that rely on Facebook as their singular point of business. And my pet peeve that frustrates to the maximum is business support solely on X/Twit - That is so low effort and unprofessional.
I have never once been on Facebook... And I was online a decade before it existed.
Same with Twitter.
In fact, my PiHole blocks both of them.
If you only do business through them, you're telling me all I need to know about you.
Any idea if Posteo allows their service with your own domain?
Posteo doesn't, IIRC. But Zoho, for instance, does allows you to use many custom domains and it's like 10 €/year.
Last time I looked it didn't -https://posteo.de/en/site/faq. However, Tuta does - https://tuta.com/blog/posts/own-domain-email. To refocus on OP's question, I would be happy to get a "professional business email" from a Posteo address.
