The Verge reports that Google will remove Gmail's Basic HTML view effective January 2024.
Though the vast majority of people use the Standard view on their PCs without question, the HTML version of Gmail has its perks. The stripped-down Gmail experience loads quickly, and users can access it even on older machines or with much slower connections.
The change appears to have been announced around September 19th in a Google support article, and users of the Basic HTML view were shown warnings that it will be discontinued, after which time they will be switched to the current standard view.
The removal of Gmail's basic HTML view is the latest in a long line of products, features, services, and more to be admitted to the Google graveyard. The company has also recently buried its Pixel Pass phone upgrade program, Google Currents, and Nest Secure.

I've run my own for over 20 years...first at home over a business-grade cable-modem connection, then for the past 15 or so years on a succession of VPSes (currently at Linode). I'm running Postfix and Dovecot on Gentoo Linux, but I've been considering using some sort of containerized mail server, such as docker-mailserver or mailu. The only trouble I've run into with mail delivery was when Microsoft started blocking traffic [lasvegashhh.com] from my server to their servers a while back, but I got Linode involved and got my mail unblocked fairly quickly.
