I have switched to totally self-hosted email! Annoying! I'm happy about de-googling one more thing in my life. I have a mail transfer agent on a dirt-cheap hetzner node. My home server connects to that via wireguard and all interesting decisions happen at home, inboxes and SMTP are only accessible via wireguard too The only thing I expose to the internet is receiving mail, which feels good. I already had hardware but over my lifetime I expect the TCO of owning to be lower than renting
