I’ve got two domain names set up for work and personal email, but I’m absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000. Most are those annoying notifications like “Your security code is xxx,” “Your parcel has shipped,” and requests to rate my experience.
Right now, I’ve been trying out Inbox Zero with an old Gmail account. It’s cool, but honestly feels a bit overkill and only works with Gmail and Outlook. I switched to my own domains to get away from Google in the first place!
So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters and can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter. Bonus points if it supports custom domains.
Any suggestions?
Being able to sort incoming aliases doesn’t address this, which was the only problem OP was having, but whatever man. Use Proton; I’ll be here when they crash and burn like every other fuckin company that has had their business model before them.
Exactly how does that not solve the issue? If you create aliases with a logical structure, you can filter all your aliases in folders, removing any notification coming from whatever you can filter. Sure, I understand you hate proton, yadda yadda. But the issue is solved that way, you may dislike it, but saying it’s not solved is lying.
Go be edgy somewhere else, but maybe, take some relaxing tea before that, you might find internet more enjoyable if you don’t attack people just for expressing their opinions. Or, if you really can’t, you might go back to reddit yourself, where you can create your bubble in which different opinions don’t have space.
I’m sorry if I offended your favorite company or whatever this is about
Mate, I couldn’t care less about Proton as a company. I use them that’s all. I’m an adult who doesn’t define themselves by the company they choose.
You straight up lied about me not adressing any of OP concerns and now are, again, using ad hominem crap to avoid facing the fact that you lied and insulted me.
Nah it’s just your claim of them of addressing none of the OPs concerns and being a blind shill is objectively wrong and you’e in your feelings about that being pointed out to you.
I mean, technically they asked for a SPAM filter, but in reality, when they’re subscribed to emails and lists they’ve signed up for, they’re marketing emails. Spam would be unsolicited and usually come from their data being sold off. The very fact those notification emails or marketing have the "unsubscribe"button lowers their spam score so they hit the inbox.
So, Proton, for example, claims to not sell off or monetize your data based on strict privacy laws from Switzerland. You don’t have to believe their claims, fine. They’re derived from scientists though, not businessmen. Didn’t seem like they’re prioritizing big money. So keeping spam away, this is a good way to do it. Doesn’t mean all the other companies OP has subscription emails for hasn’t sold their info, so it won’t be a fix-all.
OP sounds like they need to go through their emails occasionally to just unsubscribe to help clean it up lol. Really, using rules to filter key phrases would be easiest. The reason the aliases are suggested to help, bc the emails you really want to prioritize from any friends, family, or services you want to focus on, use the primary address. All others, like shopping for insurance, retail accounts, etc, use a junk one so you’re not bombarded. You’ll get a ton of marketing regardless, so that’s a great way to cut out the “spam” notifications.
I would go one step further and give banks/credit cards their own alias too, to avoid reusing the same address to help cut back on data breach info. I exclusively have a login email address and an alias for everything else. That way no one will ever know my login address to get to my account, unless the hosting company themselves are breached.
Op.
User.
I.e avoiding shipping notification clutter by directing to folders. Don’t really disagree with the placing too much trust in one company for whatever it’s worth.
