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 WindowsSelf-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!
UPDATE
just started a free account with infomaniak

I have been testing it and not sure if I want to move email account
It sometimes cannot connect to their server to sync via thunderbird (PC & Android) and I have to try few times on occasions
It looks like their server capacity is not as good as the major ones -
