    And oh by the way, opting out turns off the auto-categorization and fills your inbox with spam.

    How the fuck do I switch from this stupid service?

        The problem I’ve been seeing with email on my own domain is that some services refuse it, saying “please enter a real email address” 🤬 some others just silently refuse to send a confirmation code so I can’t register either (I think tinder did this). Especially the “not a real email address” really pissed me off.

        And with proton I got “Anonimisation services are forbidden” once at least.

        I forget which services, but it’s Hella annoying…

        The marketshare of Google and Microsoft on email is really becoming a problem.

      If you’re not already doing so, you probably should use a 3rd party client that can connect to Gmail and filter out spam.

      If you tell us what platforms you use, we can probably provide some recommendations of stuff to explore.

        Not the one you answered to, but if you have a recommendation for linux and windows please tell.
