Ask HN: Gmail alternative? gsuite vs. fastmail vs. kolabnow etc.
Ready to dump gmail and pay for email service. I'm willing to pay <$10/month. This is really about wanting to own my own email/calendar data - I am not going to host my own, and given how important email is, definitely don't want some fly-by-night operation.
any thoughts as to what is the best way to go? seems like gsuite, kolabnow, fastmail, and outlook/office365 are resonable offerings, any others i should be looking at? any reason one is significantly better than another?
Requirements:
-migrate old gmail
-strong calendar app
-good web interface and iphone compatible (own app or native mail/calendar app)
-would prefer tagging vs folders for organization
-Reputable company with strong security
- devsigner 9y agoI know it's 'free', but Protonmail[1] does look promising. Not sure it has a calendar app though. I think Mailbox.org[2] has some office features like a calendar. The basic plan on Mailbox is EUR1.00 per month, but they do have other plans if you need more storage.

- _uy6i 9y agoThanks! yeah protonmail doesn't have a calendar - which is a non-starter, but seems to be fairly high on the planned feature list...for 2+years... Mailbox.org might be interesting but not sure why i would use it over another service?
