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.

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?
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.
Posteo doesn’t, IIRC. But Zoho, for instance, does allows you to use many custom domains and it’s like 10 €/year.
