What will you do for calendaring? I moved to Google Calendar when I got a smartphone 10+ years ago, and I am now very much unhappy with it. I try to go back to Thunderbird/Lightning now and then, but discover that the Google calendar plugins just don't work, and the whole thing seems to be very slow. I leave Thunderbird running under VNC connected to the IETF IMAP server so that I can read archives when I need to. I leave it running so that I don't have to take the hit of reading the billion emails in the IETF archives. I otherwise use mh-e + nmh for email. When I get calendar stuff, I bound to by gmail account, open the browser, and insert into calendar.... but the interoperability of calendaring is on the wane, with Google doing the worst job. (I'd pay them if I could, but it seems that they won't let me buy Google Calendar unless I also let them manage my DNS zone) My ideal situation would still be an IMAP server running local serving my inbox. Yes Ken... wouldn't IMAP be nice :-) Well, actually, POP3 (leave email on server) would also work JUST FINE for my use case. Then I'd point Thunderbird/Lightning to that and just click on the calendar things. I would then just have a WebDAV to store my calendar... I think that my NextCloud (on my Freedombox) installation will do that just fine. There are other solutions involving the gcalapi program that can read MH files fine and interact with google calendar, but I haven't really figured that part out. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | IoT architect [ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
