No. But if it were with a paid option and no ads or marketing/data sharing partnerships of any kind and if it has limited storage and lets the user manage it (or move to a higher pricing tier), then I might consider it.

I really dislike the per user or per mailbox pricing model followed by some platforms. It gets very expensive to use for a few people in the family.

Copying my other comment on attachments [1]:

> People get bank statements, investment transaction statements and other important information as attachments, and they may need to get those years later from emails (it may not be easy to get from the original source and they may have lost their local copies).

> Like it or not, e-mail is a document storage medium for most people.

Note the following services that provide what I’ve listed above, except that they don’t meet some other criteria I have:

- Mxroute

- Migadu
