  • The author of the article seems to be jumping through hoops to make Apple sound good and avoid mentioning the crux of the problem: users have to be informed of what tracking they’re agreeing to - or denying - and once someone gives/refuses consent you’re not allowed to keep badgering them about it, but because Apple’s prompt is so fucking vague and generic it fails at the ‘informed’ point, so the app has to ask again. Apple’s prompt isn’t about empowering users or respecting GDPR: it’s just an interruption that tried to manipulate users into thinking that Apple is on their side.







  • It’s not a particularly nice way of doing things, but worst case: if you can add both your old and new accounts in, say, Thunderbird, you can literally drag your emails from your old mailbox and drop them into your new one.

    A better option might be to see if whatever software/host you’re looking at supports gathering email using IMAP - that way it can migrate all your existing emails autonomously and periodically scrape your old mailbox for new ones.
