I’ve learned my lesson before. Google products don’t last, so I prefer to not get used to them at all. I’m only slightly confident in the search engine and the mail existing. Although not sure in what form.
With how Google marched backwards on cloud storage since the turn of the decade, GMail is getting even less promising. Once my wife and I finally move out of here, I’m going 100% self hosted, setting up my own email server, et al
I work at a small company and one of my many hats is “the only IT guy”. I promise you, you don’t want to self host email. You will always be in spam filter hell and you’ll never really know if the email you sent actually made it to the destination until it’s too late.
Buy a domain, pay for an email provider, and hook them up. If you ever get upset with your email provider, find a new one and switch out the connections. That way, your email address never changes but where it’s stored can be.
@thanevim @dantheclamman @kubica Unfortunately, that’s not something you really wanna do. Depending on your domain, it might take years before your emails stop going to the spam box.
