I’m looking to finally get my spouse and I both onto a non-G email service with a custom domain. Having storage and calendars to replace Drive is the deal-maker with the spouse.

I’ve been using Proton as my alt email for years, but all the new crypto bells and whistles just seems sus from a business management perspective. I get it, they’re Swiss, but still.

But looking at Mailbox.org, their 2FA situation seems bonkers. That’s the dealbreaker for me.

All I really need is IMAP, webmail, and actual security without feeling like I’m going to be doing this all again in 5 years to get out from under another crypto bro.

    I went through the same transition a few weeks ago. Fuck that Proton CEO.

    I ended up with Migadu for email and selfhosting Baikal for contacts and calendars. No complaints so far.

        I never tried, or even thought it an option. I’m trying to self host as much as possible, except for email.

      Does baikal work for reminders and support caldav/carddav? Currently I’m using a VPS running nextcloud for contacts, calendar, and tasks/reminders but I have an old Dell server collecting dust that I was going to start selfhosting on.

      I was going to just selfhost Nextcloud, but I don’t use Nextcloud for cloud storage, just contacts, calendar, and reminders. Soooo baikal might be a better option for me

        Yes it does both calDAV and cardDAV!

        I was on the same path as you, I didn’t like the nextcloud bloat. Came across baikal and it just worked perfectly from the start. I use it both on desktop and android, no issues with sync. As for the reminders, I guess they are baked into the events, because the events work nicely on my phone. Definitely worth a try I’d say!
