Mailbox Matrix server
Proposed
Matrix -protocol and Element client/web-interface is making rounds in the maker and privacy minded communities by bridging users to closed chats such as IRC/Slack and sometimes outright replacing harmful VC funded intruding chat ecosystems.
Would there be a possibility to see a mailbox.org matrix server in the future with maybe bridges to Signal and XMPP for example. The possibilities are endless with what can be achieved with bridging.

I like this idea 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
This would be so dam useful. I hardly know anyone using xmpp, but the idea of having a matrix client that one could sign up with a mailbox.org username or sign in with a current matrix account and bridge across would be awesome.

This!
Honestly one of the BIG problems of all those decentralized protocols/services is that you currently pretty much need to trust some semi-random person that hosts the server just to try it out. If finally some (bigger) enterprises would start providing services with those protocols this wouldn't be a problem anymore. Using this service from mailbox.org would also just make so much sense imo as this would unify your digital identity to one provider you can simply trust.
I think i would even pay an extra per month if i could get this service from mailbox.org.

Just a customer since a few days. Basically I joined, because for my low traffic mailboxes, I did not want the hassle of maintaining my own mailserver. Went for the mid tier, because I needed custom domain.
I noticed a lot of other arbitrary "goodies" in this tier, none of them really relevant to me (well etherpad is nice), but I would love having a matrix service (still hosting this myself). I do see there is some XMPP kind of thing, so it does not seem such a stretch. Has been a couple of years since I used that, and (personal opinion) as federated chat service it pretty much failed, whereas matrix seems to begin fulfilling some of the promises XMPP had for years.
tldr; Would love matrix. But I am fine with my purchase, I paid for "own domain", just for me personally matrix would be much more useful than most of the other included stuff.

I'd like to see this topic bumped back up. I am also hosting my own matrix service, and love to use it, but spreading the attention for this outside of the community certainly is a great thing and a service to society.
