Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an Almost All-EU Stack (and Saved 500€/Year)

To add to my own post what made me switch from M365 away in the first place besides the admin madness:

- No catch-all (yes, I use my own domain just for me, and I want a catchall to my mailbox)

- Outlook 365 webinterface becoming buggy and shitty in so many ways

- I had 2 domains set up (one private, one business) but O365 would not display which email a given was used as target (just display my name), nor would it let me choose FROM which Email I want send/reply to a mail

- O365 required re-authentication every 24h or so, but I always keep the webinterface open in my tab 24/7

Additionally, I had a Bitwarden paid subscription and looking for another VPN subscription, plus a commercial AI subscription. Proton is has all of that in a one-package deal.

1. That's one mail flow rule.

2. Agreed

3. Yes, inbox rules could color these

4. Something must wrong in CA, this should not happen (if you don't want it to)

I have faced "O365 required re-authentication every 24h or so" in my previous job.

It was irritating.

I just assumed it was "IT policy" and accepted the inconvinience.
