Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox

7 months ago by Markus29 to c/selfhosted

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?

Get a proton mail. The complete plan not only supports custom domains, they also let you create unlimited alias.

This is the best thing ever. Alias work with custom domains too and they basically give you an endless amount of single-use emails allowing you to sign to each service/website with a different email (that will then be forwarded to your inbox).

This not only leaves your real email safe and unexposed, but it also lets you organize your inbox more tidily if your aliases have a structure and you use email rules for them (e.g. you can create aliases for your shipping stuff called [website].shipping@[myalias].com and then make a rule including all the adresses .shipping to a specific folder).

People are downvoting you because you’re being an ass, don’t give yourself too much credit

I'm gonna make a small reach here but are you willing to defend Andy Yen's pro-trump stance? If not, why are you giving Nanook shit for saying fuck Proton?

I’m not even a proton user anymore, for several reasons including the politics of the founder.

It’s possible to be correct and also a dickhead, as evidenced by the way nanook is behaving in this thread.
