  • I haven’t played with email extraction to my own server yet (their server is perfectly syncing my devices and has basic searching) but regarding limits: Purelymail’s advanced pricing is 4€/year + usage (very fair prices for usage). So you aren’t hitting limits. Theres a calculator on their advanced pricing site that lets you input numbers and tells you how much you’d pay.











  • Example from a friend: He is working in construction planning, and they also have to locally check that everything is being constructed as planned. They have to create protocols for all these visits. These protocols are mostly text and pictures, need to always have the same layout and of course they need the company branding etc.

    In word they always had to make sure that everything was fine. After they switched to Latex they can now simply write their text there (in an extra tex file that gets imported by the main.tex file, the extra tex file is basically empty). All they need are two commands: \section (and \subsection, \subsubsection) - those are pre-defined but sometimes need minor adjustments, and \begin{figure} (gets autocompleted and they just have to adjust width, path to file, caption, label).

    Obviously for people who finished a technical school or studied at a technical university this switch was super easy. And now they never have to worry about formatting again, they just write their protocol, compile, done.

    (and in Overleaf they can collaborate and compiling is a button on the GUI or gets triggered by ctrl s)
