    It’s almost impossible to get a darn email server installed and working. And it’s a matter of time before it gets hacked according to everyone who says not to do it yourself.

    So as of now, phone numbers are a joke for communication. Email is something you can use but it takes a whole department to keep fake emails from stealing your data at work and you can’t host it at home. So forever email will be a thing you can’t have at home with a simple click install. We need something different.

      Self hosting email is a bitch, but professional email hosting is pretty darn cheap. A hosting provider may not be perfect but at least their business is protecting your data and not selling it, paying for a product with money instead of your data.
