An interesting point. I wonder what is the best self-hosted alternative is. There is a need for vintage web for vintage machines, and that includes email services.
- greggsy 3y agoThe hobby vintage computing scene very rarely plays a part in important recovery or support situations. I would hazard a guess that the number of real and important situations where a critical and irreplaceable legacy system requires access to *Gmail* is close to zero. These systems are unlikely to have access to the internet, and if you’re connecting an *unsupported browser* to a legacy webmail solution, you’re doing things very, very wrong.
- palata 3y ago> I wonder what is the best self-hosted alternative is. What are you thinking of self-hosting? The email server? There are plenty of alternatives to GMail. An email webclient? Just use a non-web client, there are plenty of those too :-).
