The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options.

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/email/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

I’ve also started tracking impact to help keep the momentum. If there are any other stats, please share them so I can add them to the guides and, eventually, the website.

This again. Email is fucking easy and everywhere.

Show me a solid calendaring alternative, with multiple personal calendars and sharing and a full featured mobile client as well. Then you have my attention.

Also, how the hell do you migrate away from a mail system that uses labels? Seriously asking! Everything else just thinks in IMAP where emails can only ever belong to a single folder. I would lose so much context in a straight migration (and who knows how it would determine which single label gets top survive as a folder reference?

(yes, there's a parenthesis missing. Sucks if you're Lisp, I guess.
