Possibly. I'm just using it on my Debian desktop. Let me take a look at the settings again. If you don't mind testing it out with me (sending me an email, me sending one back) then shoot me a PM. If not, no worries.

That's odd. I use it via thunderbird on tails everyday, via their onion servers. Maybe it's because thunderbird on tails comes pre-configured to use Tor? Also I think they use imap and not pop3.

I also have a paranoid.mail address, but it's unclear to me if they're still "around". Although I was able to get the clearnet mailservers working fine, and I love the pop3 access, I wanted to use it over TOR and no matter what, with the information provided, I couldn't get Thunderbird to accept the TOR mailservers.

Will do, though it's sort of taken the backburner for a moment until I can figure out the best way for it to display the correct URL for whatever network the visitor is on.
I have an idea, I just haven't tested it yet. Been a tad busy with some other things but I think it 'should' work. :)

As someone who has never gotten "into" crypto, that's' more or less my ignorant understanding on it. I know it's more complex than that based on skimming some articles in the past but it seems like an accountability / ledger system in a sense.
Hopefully someone will come along and hit us with some knowledge though.

Wait until you learn about food dehydrators. You can dehyrdate just about anything, things like pasta and chili do well. Sometimes you need to separate the ingediants, sometimes you don't.
Just add hot/boiling water and let it soak. Boom, you're eating homemade chicken fettuccine in the middle of the woods miles from civilization on a backpacking trip.

The next step is rather to have personal end-to-end, peer-to-peer communication systems.
Which some platforms have, it seems, but then you're stuck communicating to only those within that platform. I believe ZeroNet has something similar, where you could technically email me at nxm9c2wjbjlhjsrc@zeroid.bit but I never check it because no one ever uses it. You can also mail me on I2P's network as well, at (I forget) @mail.i2p, but once again, it's network specific.
Whoever can get the major networks and up-and-comers to agree upon some sort of standardized P2P E2E encrypted mail system that can be accessed from anywhere, then you'd have a winner.
But I doubt that's possible with all the various networks working hard to implement their own vision.

I've never understood what the blockchains are about. It's just an online ledger in distributed format?

This article reads like an NSA operation to convince you to move away from a Swiss based provider (where they can't intercept) to a provider that is based in Germany (a 14-eyes country) or similar jurisdiction where US intel has easy access.
It very well could be, and it's hard telling in this day and age. I just stumbled across the article and thought it was worth sharing and discussing.
For what it's worth, I use protonmail myself.

If you put boiled spaghetti in a tumble drier you extract the moisture and they dry out again so you can save it for later. If you're not in a rush you can hang every individual spaghett to dry, they become straight when dried and they'll even fit back in the original packs!

E-mail is outdated, the steps required to get truly safe e-mailing is beyond regular users reach and trusting third parties to handle the technical security isn't the right way forward. Look at Tutanota and the recent forced backdooring.
The next step is rather to have personal end-to-end, peer-to-peer communication systems.

Actually, any email provider+PGP is good, but incoming mail may not always be encrypted, and trusting the provider with your keys is a REALLY bad idea. Paranoid does this without storing your private keys like protonmail. They have a no-webmail policy (you'll need a mail client) and encrypt all incoming mail (if unencrypted) with your public key which is the only key they store.

Aether does look cool, however, i think you are correct about the lack of mobile support.
