it's nice that everything is integrated into one system! I have always been searching for similar solutions. But one thing that bothers me email. If I use an email provider from Google workspace or Microsoft365, then sooner or later I was forced to use their calendar, and soon docs because the preview and integration.

The closest I found is larksuite[0] which they recently added email hosting. But I am still paying microsoft so I haven't switched email. I just use lark's IM as email client as well.

While I am trying the product, I am curious what's your thought about add email hosting.

Contacts and calendar are nice to have in the same place as email, because of needing to email contacts and because of calendar invites. Then again, if you use an email client you can use a mix of providers even for those features.

I'm not sure I see the need for any other additional apps next to email. Let alone the feeling of being forced to.

For example, when sharing a google doc in Gmail, the experience is more feature rich. And if an organization is already paying for gmail, it's hard to stop people from using gdoc and gsheet. In real work, I can't just reply a gdoc share with "use nino or I refuse to read".

It's doable. Just curious what's stopping you from switching email? Is email forwarding possible in your case?

For my particular cases there are features like shared-mailbox and distribution list that requires additional setups. I don't see a clear advantage to move over a critical provider so I kept things the same. If from dayone I have a choice, I would go with all-in-one.
