Atomic Mail - My Thoughts

I signed up for an Atomic Mail account today, and I thought it may be a good idea to set my thoughts on to my blog.

This first image is the log-on screen:

I've set up my password manager (KeePassXC) for this account. Usually KeePassXC offers to save the login credentials, but it didn't on this occasion - I had to create the entry manually.

After entering my user name (first part of my email address) the password screen appears:

After entering the password, I have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) so then the 2FA screen appears:

One can choose from either an authenticator code, or a seed phrase to proceed. For myself, I elect to choose the authenticator code, which is generated from my Aegis phone app:

After entering the code, the webmail finally opens:

As you can see, the layout is fairly basic. There is no option to change to a dark theme.

The email view is set as 'conversation view' - I can't see any way to change that.

A good point is that one allowed 10 aliases - a useful addition considering that some providers may only allow a few or none at all. 

The settings options are fairly basic:

There is no option to create filters, although one can manually move emails into different folders. There's no mention of IMAP/SMTP, so I assume that it's not available. I suppose that is comparable to ProtonMail and Tuta - they rely on webmail and dedicated phone apps.

Atomic Mail does have an Android phone app - available on the Google Play Store - but unfortunately I could not get that to work. I suspect that the 2FA is the problem here. I tried to log in using the app - looking identical to the webmail layout, however when I expecting to see a request for the 2FA code that didn't happen - instead it said something like wrong email address or password, and I couldn't proceed.

I suppose I should have tried again, but this time by disabling the 2FA to see it that would work. I may try that again at a later date.

I could log on the webmail account using my phone web browser without problem.

Today was my first time using Atomic Mail - why not try it for yourself?
