Made Little Progress in Switching from Google, But Stuck on the root of the problem - Lemmy.World

Hey everyone! So, I’ve made some small progress in switching things up on my Android. Here’s what I’ve done so far: 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 But now I’m hitting a wall trying to find free alternatives for a couple of things: 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!

I use proton, but I think the calendar is a paid option. Tuta seems to include the calendar in their free tier
Proton calendar is free, though you’re limited to the different colours you can use and the number of third-party calendars you can add
