This is totally not true, at least last time I checked 2 years ago when I decided to make the jump from the large email providers. email systems are retarded. They throw all kinds of acronyms, apps, subapps, etc at you. Why isn't there just some damn app that you can to to a website, click on download and install, and it is up and running? Everywhere I read, I was cautioned it was difficult because you always have to upgrade security with new patches, for example. Why are they even bothering me with this knowledge? Why would I have to do it? Can't people doing email apps figure out how to continuously update everything so I don't have to think about it? I simply do not have the time to figure it all out. I have other responsibilities taking up my time. I have a computer science degree, and have worked on all kinds of apps, but I can't figure the stuff out, how is somebody else going to do it "easily"? I've always thought someone could automate the entire thing, but no. And so, I got tutanota. Less than a minute for getting an email up and running. It should be that way to self-host, like any other app in the world. I didn't choose proton mail because it was WAY more expensive. I have multiple emails, and don't want to use aliases, heck with that. So buying multiple emails is WAY more expensive on Protonmail. If there is a simple one-step email hosting app, they sure as hell hide it very well. Because believe me, I looked. For those who want to explain why, I have a computer science degree. I can sort of guess why. But the reasons don't interest me. I just need a one-step self-hosted service. End of story. I'm not mad or bitter. I'm just being direct at outlining my experience and frustrations. But I'm ok now, not frustrated anymore. Except when I think back on it....like now. :)
