Why not host yourself? There's little sense in leaving one silo just to go into another one. I have set up Postfix + Dovecot for my e-mail needs and DAViCal for my calendar. Works like a charm!

Someone should create (or link to) a turnkey AWS EC2 hosted solution that mimics the gmail/calendar suite. I'd spin up a micro instance in a heart beat. Funded by selling managed registration and dns.

No way. Email is one of those things I can't stand to admin on my own. I just want it to work, and don't even want to think about the administration piece. That's why I'm willing to pay someone else to take care of that.

Gmail does this beautifully.... but there's this creepy privacy policy thing, you know. :)
