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!

Hey!

For email provider Infomaniak provides as good of a service as google for free and their paid sub is 2 euros a month for 1TB of cloud storage. They’ve been a great alternative for me. Just need to find a calendar app you like if you want to use their calendar as it doesn’t have a mobile app.

just started an 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 www.reddit.com/r/Infomaniak/ will search if any group here as well

I used ik.me before going to my own email and no issues with any site, its a valid email if they have issues with it honestly just take your business elsewhere cause if they can’t get an email validation figured out what else can’t they do well 😂
