iOS Mail Is Shite

I fell foul of a phish, thanks to the shitty iOS Mail app.

I got up this morning and checked my emails. In there was a couple of emails saying that sending privileges had been restricted on a couple of mailboxes we have setup on Fosstodon. Hereโ€™s what the email looked like:

ios-mail-phish

As you can see, the email simply came from โ€œZohoโ€. I figured someone had made a complaint as we get a lot of email to these addresses. I (stupidly) clicked the button and logged into my account.

It wasnโ€™t until Iโ€™d entered my credentials and saw a spinning wheel that looked out of place for the Zoho login screen it clicked - this is a phishing site. I should have known when my password manager hadnโ€™t picked up the URL for a login.

Hereโ€™s the same email from my desktop Mail app:

mac-mail-phish

Yup, definitely a phish. FFS.

I have multi-factor on my account and the password was unique, but I immediately reset my password anyway. Thank goodness for password managers.

The problem here is that the iOS mail app hides the senderโ€™s email away behind a couple of taps. Itโ€™s fucking stupid and actually helps these scammers.

I canโ€™t see an option to change this in the iOS Mail appโ€™s settings. To reiterate, itโ€™s fucking stupid!

I think Iโ€™m going to start looking for another mail app for my phone. Any recommendations, folks?
