Fastmail user here. I had problems with spam too when I first signed up, but then I discovered I could change the spam protection level from "Standard" to "Aggressive" in the mail settings screen (the default is "Standard"). That immediately solved almost all of my spam problems.
- corobo 9y agoUnfortunately the problem wasn’t just spam in the inbox it was also non-spam in the spambox
- ambrosite 9y agoI never had that problem, unless you mean things like the occasional Facebook or Twitter notification ending up in spam, but I didn't care about those. Also, Gmail definitely has a problem with false positives. At the small agency where I worked a few years ago, a lot of our internal company emails were ending up in spam folders. It got so bad that I had to go around adding our company email domain to the spam exclusion filters just to make sure that my co-workers were receiving my emails.
- corobo 9y agoI'd rather be convinced by the benefits of something than the disadvantages of what I'm already using. For me, Gmail works. Fastmail did not. I'm not attacking Fastmail. I just didn't want to put in the effort to train the spam filters.
