Gmail alternatives are good but not sure I trust Mozilla any more. They are making a lot of weird choices lately, like the AI stuff.

Already found fastmail years ago, and there is no way Mozilla can make a better email service.

Maybe it's for people who use Gmail and wants a free alternative. People keep thinking they can just have free stuff without any costs.

Me hoping for a free version. It's amazing how I can't find an email service that it's not a whole ecosystem or under subscription.

If it's free, you're the product. In theory at least.

Occasionally if it's free, you're a rider, because they only charge for enterprise licenses.

Tangentially related, Proxmox. Individual licenses are pretty expensive for a private person, but for a small business, it's likely a justifiable expense.
