They also have regular one time password two factor authentication (6 digit code every 30s) for a while now, in case you tried them while it was still the weird "PIN + OTP" thing
A rebrand, with some new features, a new app etc etc, with not a single mention of adding AI in everything. Amazing.
The new UI is gorgeous
- The old one was quite old, the new one is definitely an improvement
PWAs should be the standard. Since you're not enslaved to an app-store
If only they would fix the DMARC issue. That one is really bad. Basically the most problematic issue they have atm.
- Can you elaborate on this? What's going on?

PWA are always welcome
For me personally there is not much use in these changes. I only access it through Thunderbird or K9-Mail. I would prefer if they would ease the creation of temporary Mails instead of hiding it in the settings.
Also I need to try out the New 2FA Integration instead of the strange pin+otp login method.
- If you have a custom domain with your account, you can setup a catch all alias, then any email address at your domain will arrive in your inbox.
  
  That sounds interesting. I never thought about using it that way. I will give it a try. Thanks for the hint!
- I would prefer if they would ease the creation of temporary Mails instead of hiding it in the settings. Yeah me too. I wish they'd integrate with Bitwarden's e-mail address generator. If you e.g. use anonaddy you just paste a anonaddy apikey into Bitwarden and it creates e-mail aliases in anonaddy for you.
  Though it would be nice to just use the e-mail alias service from your existing e-mail provider (as you describe with mailbox) rather than buying another 3rd party service.
  
  Yep, I also prefer sticking to my email-provider providing me this kind of service instead of a 3rd party one.

How is "undo send" supposed to work? I would never trust a mail server that honours a request to delete a mail from a user's inbox.
Edit: Just read that it means "stop it from being sent". I don't know in how many milliseconds you'd have to click that button, but that's fine.
- Gmail has an undo send feature, in reality, every email you send through Gmail is delayed by something like thirty seconds, and if you click undo send within that time, it simply won’t send the email
  
  So 30.000 ms. Should be doable :)
This is really great! While i have been a happy Migadu user for a while im not fan of the new Swizz laws being passed there. Mailbox is looking better than ever!
