runbox7 VS Simple-Calendar

I've only ever worked at places with self hosted Exchange for e-mail and groupware. As a client, I use Outlook Web Access (OWA) most of the time and I think it's fine. It's simple, feels reasonably snappy to me and I like having the same interface on all the different machines I need to login from. Sometimes, I need to reach for the desktop version of Outlook in a Windows VM to access options or features not accessible in OWA (or in the sluggish abomination that is Outlook for Mac). However, in the end I don't care all that much about my e-mail client because I use a simple inbox-zero-ish approach to e-mail and only really need Inbox and Archive folders (as well as a delete function). This works with every client.

To have an offline archive, I also have Apple Mail connected to my Exchange accounts. I never use the app itself but frequently use Spotlight to search for and preview e-mails. However, if I'm already working in OWA, I use the search function in there. In my experience, it works well and doesn't feel significantly slower than searching locally in my offline archive.

[Sidenote: I find it annoying to have to use Spotlight for local e-mail search instead of Alfred.app (which has been my universal search app for many years). Alas, Apple only allows access to the e-mail folder on MacOS for their own apps for some annoying reason these days.]

Outside of work, I have the same setup with Apple Mail and Spotlight for archival and search. As clients, I use K-9 on Android and Apple Mail or runbox7 on the desktop. The latter is the webmail app of Runbox, my e-mail provider of choice (I think the app is pretty good - and open source on https://github.com/runbox/runbox7 ).

I wouldn't call this the "best" option. "Best" is tied to a specific case, and OP's case isn't clear to me. I've self-hosted my mail for ~5 years, and I moved on to runbox.com now. Not expensive, cheaply hosted with green energy in Norway and their web UI is free software.

My go to for those sort of app replacements are Simple Mobile Tools. https://www.simplemobiletools.com/

Simple mobile tools shows its definitely possible [0]. Simple gallery pro has 110k reviews, for example.

Agreed here, though.

I would be wary of using their calendar app. It has had a long-standing bug in basic timezone / DST handling:

Most custom ROMs don't seem to use the AOSP dialer anyway. I've mostly seen forks with some nice features Google's dialer still lacks (called recording, for one).

AOSP hasn't been a useful Android distribution for years. Luckily, you can make it useful through third party apps like the Simple apps: https://www.simplemobiletools.com/

Simple Calendar - what it sounds like; supports sync
