- coffeefirst 8y agoWhat do you like about it, besides just not being Google?
- Semaphor 8y agoMuch faster interface than gmail. No tracking, no ads. Actual support.
- nullcipher 8y agoWhat support have you required? Will they tell me why an email for marked as spam? Because it marks my domain which clears all ham tests as spam...
- Semaphor 8y agoDKIM problems were my only contact with support. It's mostly about having them available when needed.
- chrismorgan 8y agoYes, our support can help with that. In most cases, what we’ll do is actually something that you can do yourself: the spam filtering goes through SpamAssassin, with the standard rules and a few extra ones of our own, so you can normally do a good job of figuring it out by looking at the X-Spam-hits header, though figuring out what an obscure rule actually is can sometimes be tricky—the documentation of them is often quite poor. That will commonly lead to things like: “the sender is in this blacklist, and the IP address lacks RDNS, and the message didn’t include a meaningful text/plain part, and the text/html part lacked the <html> and <body> tags (which spammers often omit but real senders almost never do), and it did this other weird thing that spammers commonly do; and if you fixed one or two of them it’d stop being classified as spam”.
- theomega 8y agoUI wise, for me it is the much more responsive interface, especially in Firefox. I always had the feeling that GMail was especially slow/laggy in Firefox.
