Google has this really annoying ‘feature’ of blocking my e-mail access any time my IP changes (ISP grants a new DHCP lease? BLOCK! Switch from Wifi to cellular data? BLOCK!, etc). This has annoyed me to the point that I want to get off gmail entirely.
I send/receive (combined) maybe 200 emails per month. What I do is travel. I don’t necessarily need to be able to send e-mails, but I MUST be able to read them. My devices are all configured to download+delete e-mails and sync amongst themselves. I don’t rely on IMAP. What I do rely on is not being blocked from logging in with a username+password (NONE OF THIS MFA BULLSHIT!) from any IP in the world without question. Does mxroute offer this or not? I’m also looking into just getting a VPS and hosting my own mail server (which I do now, but on a residential network, so it’s stuck as ‘receive only’) just so I can know that my e-mail will work anywhere in the world.
