There is an open source email server called XMail.
Of course Elon Musk can offer addresses @x.com. |

Hope it happens.
Can't wait to get away from anything Google after their recent Gemini nonsense and their blatant loathing of a certain demographic. |

There is a website up at xmail.com where you can request an email address.

Xmail in the works
I'll try anything once!
If it proves to be a disaster....no harm done. Anything that allows people to move AWAY from gmail HAS TO BE A GOOD THING...IMHO. Thanks for the heads up! |

xmail.com is not owned by x.com
xmail.com just uses google workspace for email. |

The current owner of domain xmail.com could get rich soon.
I don't think he/she could resist the big money coming in from X Unless X uses the same approach as Proton to go for Xmail.me instead because proton.com will never be available to them! |

It would be a huge pain for users if they don't use xmail.com. I have found numerous times people just type in a .com ending no matter what the actual TLD. Half the time they just type in @gmail.com no matter what domain and TLD you are using. I've worked with mailing lists a lot, and it is frustrating how often email addresses are entered incorrectly, even by the owners of the addresses!
