#6I've been thinking of ditching Gmail for myself and my business, but what true alternatives are there? I already have O365, but am not particular keen on using Exchange. I'm basically only using Gmail and Calendar.
Any e-mail providers based out of the EU, worth mentioning?

Depends on what you consider a true alternative. Self-hosted open source is still and always has been available, but companies like Google have changed what people expect of software and so traditional email software (both clients and servers) is no longer viable unless people are willing to change their expectations to leave the large providers.

Translation issue. In German, the expression "... und Co" is a synonym for et cetera.
