This is not meant as rant (although I appreciate it might sound like it).

Nextcloud is amazing. There is tons of good integrations between various apps and they work flawlessly.

But there is one major component missing. Email.

Email is still lifeblood of so many businesses and communities.

And Nextcloud has no good email integration. Period.

Snappymail:

  • good email
  • UI does not match rest of app
  • calendar integration is not usable

Roundcube:

  • high profile CVEs in the past
  • integration with calendar via plugins which again are far from perfect

Mail (official)

  • literally looses emails; not even basic functionality can be trusted.

Until sending emails, accepting and sending invites and attachment from cloud become solid part of NC, this cannot be a solution we, European businesses rely on as a MS365 alternative.

Please, get EU funding. Invest hard in email and make it core feature of NC.

While at it, please address Calendar syncing with external sources.

And finally, this is not a snipe at community. This is me pleading to corporate entity behind NC. Use your profits and political capital to build something great.
