I am not moving to Yahoo or any other commercial-they-own-your-data company. We’ve had our own server space for some time now at medhas.org. I simply installed RoundCube on my server in about 20 minutes and configured it to use my hosting provider given mailbox. I will slowly move all my mails to this account (thanks to Google for letting me to that). I shall be asking people to use sunil or bunny at medhas dot org now and not sunilmohan at gmail dot com.

RoundCube offers only basic stuff and is still very much in development. However:

  1. Its Free Software and I know what it is doing with my mails.
  2. I own my mails and all my data, truely. No evil entity or its AI machines are invading my privacy.
  3. No ads on my face when I look at my own content.
  4. Nobody is going to automatically subscribe and log me into new services that I don’t want/like.
  5. I know php well enough to add my own features to it and I am indeed planning to contribute to the project if I find time.
