关于为什么要绑定 gmail ,这是我在另一个社区的答用户问题。
The core design principle of linuxmail.cc is to use Gmail as your secure vault. Gmail's security is well-known, making it one of the most difficult internet services for hackers to compromise. I've been using Gmail since 2004 and have followed the evolution of its security features. For instance, in addition to traditional SMS and phone verification, Gmail now requires verification through mobile apps (Gmail, YouTube) for certain functions, which greatly enhances user data security. Based on this, linuxmail.cc fully trusts Gmail, sending both initial and reset passwords to your Gmail account, essentially treating it as your private safe. With Google's security guarantees, what's there to worry about? Of course, if you don't like keeping password emails, you can always delete them after reading.
As for other public email services like Yahoo or Outlook, I'm less familiar with them and don't believe they offer the same level of security as Gmail. Proton Mail is likely quite secure as well, and I might consider adding support for it in the future.
Currently, one Gmail account can be linked to two linuxmail.cc accounts. This is because we treat [email protected] and [email protected] as two separate Gmail accounts. However, [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are considered the same account.
The system was initially designed for the linux.do community. For its design principles and architecture, please refer to this post: https://linux.do/t/topic/184510. You may need to use Chrome's translation plugin to read it.
Lastly, I've developed this system with great care and am committed to ensuring its long-term availability. I'm not short on funds and can easily cover the costs of maintaining the servers and domain. I hope everyone will enjoy using linuxmail.cc.
