If you're considering self hosting, Immich is an amazingly complete replacement for Google Photos.
Firefox has a pretty good password manager built in.
I use k9 mail, which I really like, although a lot of people like FairEmail (both FOSS)
Also check out YouApps in addition to fossify for a different suite of useful, well designed apps
I have a domain + a Raspberry and if it works, I could try to host on itπ€
I've tried a lot of clients and none was good for me, Samsung Mail was okay-ish but it didn't notify me half of the times. Tried K9 and it's amazing, even if it sync every 15 mins it sends a notification for every mail.
I use Firefox but I'd like a password manager outside of it, foss of course and I'm using Bitwarden now
There is also a way to get realtime notifications from k9 if you prefer.
If you have a huge number of photos, LMK, I'm working on setting up my server now and there are a few tricks to share with getting your photos from Google.
How? 15 mins is low enough though
Honestly, I hate online photo storing since the last time I did, a few years back, I had pics synced with Samsung Cloud, removed them from my phone and it also deleted them on cloud... I'm 98% sure I didn't delete them on cloud yet I lost a lot of pics so I've never synced them online. I would like to make a photo-like app to sync them through my website (Raspberry)
