Contact list - that's not really part of email as I understand it.

However, I could set up contacts & calendaring on one of my Nextcloud 
instances.

Not at all.

I believe it's set up to auto-create folders when required.

i.e. a brand new account only has Inbox.

Sending a first message ought to create Sent.  etc.


As for spam, I'm actually not running any normal spam filtering.

With the smtp rules locked in place, the only spam I've encountered is 
some persistent Canada Post campaign coming from various IPs.

I may add that to my home-made mail filter that I'm working on.


With the checks in place before accepting email, it seems very little 
gets through.
