You pay nothing to Google but get an excellent mailbox. Not libre, but it does the job. Many people volunteer for free software. Somehow they find time. I realize a reliable server needs people to work on it full-time, it's not just a little web application you write in 10 minutes.
But that's why I'm trying to get funding. If expenses can be covered, that solves the problem. You're right, there's no magic solution. It's not simple, but possible. And look at MyKolab. There you go, it's a company which plans to launch a libre mailbox service! Yes, users will have to pay money. Yes, I'm trying to get the project funded so that people can get exposed to free software and software freedom, and migrate from GMail, at no cost. Like I said, I'll update when there's new information.
