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!

    Proton or Tuta should suit your needs for email and calendar. Native apps are decent too.

      Thanks a lot

      I have asked: "free replacement for Gmail free Google Calendar alternative that works well on both Android and via Thunderbird Windows "

      Recommended by the members here: “have you tried infomaniak? They also have a calendar and an online office suite… and their free plan is nice”

      Then I picked “infomaniak”
