I have thought about using something else than gmail, but it seems hard to find something reliable enough, free, that will still be there in 10 years, which a good enough spam filter, with customizable filters and labels.
Changing one's email address is not a trivial task, I would not do it if I would be sure it's worth it.
I totally understand the political issues of privacy and monopolies, but fighting those by not using gmail is not going to improve things that much.
Everybody knows privacy is an issue, but switching to a privacy-oriented mail provider will also make somebody rich over some paranoia, and it won't necessarily make things more secure.
- josteink 8y ago> it seems hard to find something reliable enough, free I’m sure if you decide that your privacy and the health of the Internet holds value to you (as in, you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is), finding good options will be much easier. Personally I use a paid FastMail-account which I’m super-happy about, but I’ve heard there are other good options out there too. But if you don’t want to pay for a core service you use every day, for everything, you can’t complain about that service degrading, now can you?
- Thev00d00 8y agoYou have to pay for it basically. My Fastmail subscription is absolutely worth it.
- zie 8y agoIf you buy a domain through gandi.net, they give you 2 email addresses free. They use SOGO, so it's decent.
