Hm... it's app-based so I'd be using a phone. Not for me. (My workaround for the blacklisting madness was to send calibre mails via my gmail account, which works fine and is more or less sure to always work fine. Mind you, Amazon unblacklisted me once I got SPF and DMARC working so I could just switch back to that. Nice of them to not say at all what they were looking for...)

I'm like that in the real world because it reduces visual clutter and that really affects me, but I'm a digital hoarder. All carefully filed away in subdirs so there isn't any visual clutter in directory listings, but I have literally terabytes of stuff accumulated which I might possibly need in future in case my Internet connection goes down for, oh, weeks. Cloud? Who needs it
(well, OK, without the net I can't get my work done and I disappear and my boss starts wondering where I am... but that's a *detail*.)
