Made Little Progress in Switching from Google, But Stuck on the root of the problem
Made Little Progress in Switching from Google, But Stuck on the root of the problem
Hey everyone!
So, I've made some small progress in switching things up on my Android:
Replaced Gmail app with Thunderbird
Replaced Google Calendar with FOSSify Calendar
Replaced Google Play Store with Aurora & F-Droid
Replaced Android file manager with FOSSify File Manager
Replaced Android keyboard with Heliboard
But now I’m hitting a wall trying to find ones on root of problem:
free replacement for Gmail
free Google Calendar alternative that works well
on both Android and via Thunderbird Windows
Self-hosting isn’t really an option for me, so I’d love to hear your suggestions!
If you’ve found something you really like, please share your experiences.
Thanks!
UPDATE
just started a free account with infomaniak so far happy with infomaniak except the free email extensions like @ik.me @etik.com or @ikmail.com addresses whether will be accepted / recognized by institutions like banks etc
also found a community group at https://www.reddit.com/r/Infomaniak/ will search if any group here as well

I would recommend against Proton, it's just a matter of time before their CEO starts tweeting again.
Calendar+contacts: use Baikal
As for email, I went with a cheap no frills service like migadu
Any CEO can tweet some garbage, this doesn't change the code and the developers views/work.
I would recommend against Proton, it’s just a matter of time before their CEO starts tweeting again. I kind of agree on Proton, besides it has no free version works with Thunderbird email/calendar integration
Calendar+contacts: use Baikal that is a self -hosting one if I am correct as I mentioned earlier as follows : Self-hosting isn’t really an option for me"
