Brian ÓI was invited to join a group on Delta Chat, but it uses IMAP, which is becoming a rare commodity these days. I use ProtonMail and Tutanota, two services that work great, but are web only. I had to dust off my postfix skills and set up a mail server on a little €3.99/mo ARM server. It becomes obvious how kludgey email is when you have to set it up from scratch.
