Hey everyone!

So, I’ve made some small progress in switching things up on my Android:

Replaced  Gmail app with Thunderbird
Replaced Google Calendar with FOSSify Calendar
Replaced Google Play Store with Aurora & F-Droid
Replaced  Android file manager with FOSSify File Manager
Replaced  Android keyboard with Heliboard

But now I’m hitting a wall trying to find  ones on root of problem:
free replacement for Gmail
free Google Calendar alternative that works well
 on both Android and via Thunderbird    Windows

Self-hosting isn’t really an option for me, so I’d love to hear your suggestions!

If you’ve found something you really like, please share your experiences.

Thanks!

    Why are you switching from Google? Is it privacy and data collection? Anything you switch to, will charge you, or sell your data. That’s just how it works.

    Free isn’t a business model. Money needs to come from somewhere. If it’s not coming from you, it’ll be someone else.
