I've been looking into the Fediverse and it seems like something I want to get more accustomed to. But iw as wondering if there was an email one based on it? I've got like Gmail and outlooks. But I also have a rarely used protonmail. So, I was wondering, is Proton good enough. Or is there a Fediverse alternative?

I understand all of this now. I just made a dumb mistake when looking at the Fediverse umbrella. Leaving it in hopes someone else may need it.

Email is already federated. You can simply run your own email server (pick any of the widely used open source email servers) or join an email server that already exists (like Gmail, Hotmail, etc.)

Since email is a huge pain to host, it’s usually much better to just use one of the existing bigger services if you want to ensure your mail always gets to the recipient without being marked as spam.
