[confounded]

Very happy recent convert to KolabNow. They have a kind of ethical nerd deluxe service, based in Switzerland. It's not cheap (I pay about $10 a month, and that's only going to go up), but I'm very happy with it.

  Pros:

  - 100% green energy
  - 100% Free Software (+ meaningful upstream contributions)
  - Servers run on fully open POWER8 architecture!
  - Server for your contacts (CardDAV), calendar (CalDav), and 
  notes (IMAP)
  - Swiss privacy laws (not what they used to be, but still outside
   US, EU, N Eyes)
  - They run what seem like very fancy business-class LUG
  events in Europe. Of no utility to me what-so-ever, but I'm 
  glad to be indirectly funding this sort of thing.

  Cons:

  - No 2FA :(
  - Not the cheapest (but I'm happy to pay a little extra for 
  the above)
  - Slow webmail (moved back to native clients)
