Just come across this. Haven't dug too deep but sounds like an interesting opportunity. I think it can only succeed if it is fully compliant with current systems. Seems to only be mobile clients. No desktop? Are big tech going to permit this to grow? It would shut down a data mining opportunity ...

With Mail/HTTPS, self-hosting email is as simple as running a website.

That sounds amazing!

I'm all for software that greatens our ability to selfhost. I've heard it's very hard to host email. If open email delivers on this, it might just have what it takes to survive.

I'll say this much, the sign up was super easy. Only need your name and a hook to create an account.

Its not difficult to self host email. Ispconfig will do all the work for you locally, then you just need to set up your DNS records. The difficult part is staying on top of patching and block lists.
