Re: [PLUG] FOSS Google App/etc Alternatives |
Speaking of which, I just remembered... I believe that Outlook with an Exchange server in the back end satisfies all of your requirement except for the bookmarks. It does email labels. It's interface is consistent across devices. I used this setup for a long time, and it worked well for me. I used a few different Exchange hosts, but none of them were particularly extraordinary (RIP Rackspace).
As a bonus, Microsoft isn't exclusively in the data mining business like Google is.

I don't really care what underlying protocol it uses to communicate. It just needs a way for it to look the same on the web and on android, and be self-hosted. Mail isn't my only focus but in the case of mail I'm more interested in the MUA than the MTA, though there is a bit of a link only because I'm not sure how well IMAP handles tags. (GMail supports IMAP but I think they just map every tag to a virtual folder - I'm not sure how well that works in practice.) I don't want one of those situations where I end up with 3 copies of the same thing that all end up being slightly out of sync with each other.
