Great post! I didn't know there were these many Google alternatives, good job!.... However I see Mailfence mailfence.com is missing among the Gmail alternatives. A very serious secure email provider, based in Belgium. You can securely communicate with everyone. I really enjoy the suite of tools you have: Mesages, Calendar, Contacts/ Groups, Documents, etc... Very well protected also, as their servers are outside US jurisdiction. Cheers!
