I’m at the difficult stage of contemplating how to decom my gmail email, and the Google account itself.
I have a couple of domains at OVH, and for the last few years I’ve been using email aliases when making accounts, all redirecting to my Gmail. The other day I had enough, created a mailbox on one of the domains, changed all aliases to this new address, and installed Thunderbird mobile. So far it’s been going well.
The webmail runs roundcube, which is usable but not great. The biggest problem I’ve had is the inability to create automatic filters.

I moved my calendar to Nextcloud, then radicale. My contacts too. Gmail is just a wean away.
My problem is how I’ll be able to deal with work apps like ms authentication. Even if I set up a 2nd “normal” phone for work only, I need to sign in to the play store to get the app… Its a chicken-and-egg problem.

@non_burglar @Damage Are they just TOTP authentication codes you need? If so, you there's alternatives

Certain apps do not allow one to use freeotp et al (o365).

Right, forgot about the contacts, those are on Nextcloud as well. What’s the advantage of radicale over NC?
I still run the play store, but I get what I can from F-Droid. I’m not familiar with the MS authentication app, but I use Ente Auth, idk if that’s comparable.

Functionally, they work the same. I got kinda tired of fixing NC every other upgrade, though. It was always some “occ add missing indices” or some similar garbage. Like just solve this, already. Make that part of the upgrade.

Hmmm, luckily I haven’t had issues so far, but I’m using the AIO docker container
