       I’ve been using (and enjoying) [[Missive]] as my main company & personal email client, but it’s overkill for one person.

       I host my email on a paid Google plan, but am exploring different options like self hosting with [[Cloudron]], or picking a paid [[Fastmail]] account.

       For an organization / group / non-profit it immediately becomes quite expensive to run emails and calendaring. But that’s a longer discussion.
