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!

      I have been testing it and not sure if I want to move email account It sometimes cannot connect to their server to sync via thunderbird (PC & Android) and I have to try few times on occasions It looks like their server capacity is not as good as the major ones

        Yeah ok. Maybe there is another alternative hiding somewhere else that I have not heard about. Or just try reaching out to customer support.
