I mean just because email got no store apps (the apps are included in all mobile OSs) Me and my family loves our selfhosted email with the stock apps on each mobile

I have considered adding this section but I have tried numerous times to self host an email server and it never quite works out. Mostly due to Spamhaus. If you know of a good guide to help users get around blacklist issues, ISP dual NAT, and other hurdles I would be happy to add it.

In my experience self-hosted email just seems to be impractical. However I do have a personal interest in revisiting this issue, so Ill keep this issue open for discussion on the topic.

i think i missunderstood your definition of „selfhosted“. I selfhost my email with a VPS because of the blacklisted dynamic ISP domains. Other services I host through this VPS too because of its availability. For me Selfhosting is not hosting at your home, but host it on your own. If that’s not your lists meaning email should not be added as you said

ahh, yes. It seems a lot of people dos this now. But my main focus for this list is hosting at home, work, etc.
