My fear were not patents, because the code is too simple, but similarity to existing code from this company. I did not know if this could lead to problems if the architecture or the code itself is too similar.

I am using my own Mail Server (mailcow) beside my old gmail and other adresses. But for convenient, searchable offline Backups, I use Mailsteward (macOS)
... if it is of interest for someone: https://mailsteward.com
Then I put the database on multiple backup locations regularly.
Another thing, some people do not already know: If you don't need a throwaway-adress for some services, and you just want to make your mailbox more structured, you can use '+' before the '@' to add another word to your email adress.
Like: your.name+randomName@gmail.com
The +randomName will be ignored and the emails are received at your.name@gmail.com. But most Servers (I use) will put a '[randomName]' before the subject of the received email. Which can be quite handy for handling your emails. Even more, if the company uses multiple different adresses to send you emails.
You could use the fediverse directly instead of Threads if you don't want to be 'over-moderated'. Some server admins in the fediverse also go over board, but you can host your own instance in the fediverse or search for an instance that align with your topics.
Another bonus if you use AltStore - you don't have to install an app from a company that defrauds children with in-app coin purchases to unlock stuff in their games... it's funny how Epic is now portrayed as 'the good guys'.
Apple doesn't itself make those games, it simply offers a marketplace and takes an obscene 30% cut of all the horribly addictive games.
The companies that make those games, like Epic and miHoYo are far more directly culpable.
Really, I blame the governments for not banning this obviously deleterious crap, like the US is seriously debating banning tik-tok when gacha games are right there.
Epic hasn’t made gambling games for years fwiw. Although they do serve them on their app store. Imo Apple would have banned these games a long time ago if it were not for the fact that it granted them hundreds of millions of dollars. The incentives are bad.
Everything always boils down to the terrible incentives of app makers paying a tax share of revenue or profit rather than just paying a fixed fee for the distribution service.
