A bit of a sidenote but: what is a gmail alternative that really works? For instance, spam handling is worse in pretty much any alternative I've tried.
I'm interested in EU-based products first. But they need to handle spam well!
- delusional 1y agoHow do you defined "handling spam well"? What problem did you have with the alternatives you've tried?
- barbazoo 1y agoThey definitely do have regular false positives for me, marking something as spam that isn't. Never personal email though.
- BoppreH 1y agoI'm a happy user of Fastmail. It's a paid service (€5 per month) but that comes with higher standards. The webmail has been pretty good. Barely any spam to speak of (once a week?), even though I have various email addresses in public places.
- classichasclass 1y agoAnother satisfied Fastmail user. We don't pay a great deal for it and the service has been very good. Be the customer, not the product.
- lucianbr 1y agoProtonmail works in the sense that I can receive and send emails, it's always up when I need it. I don't know how much of the spam is not arriving or being filtered.
- fauigerzigerk 1y agoDo you have any deliverability issues when sending mails? I find Protonmail interesting and I like the clean UI, but I worry my mails may end up in recipients' spam folder more often.
- bsoles 1y agoNot the original poster. I use all three Proton domains (pm.me, proton.me, protonmail.com) and haven't had an issue so far.
- lucianbr 1y agoI have not had any issues so far.
- queenkjuul 1y agoI haven't had problems with proton domains (i mostly use pm.me) but i also registered my personal domain to be handled by proton and that works well
- AndersSandvik 1y agoI recommrnd Fastmail! Switched to them like 3 years ago. They Are perfect for me. I use masker emails for my domain so i never get spam
- fauigerzigerk 1y agoMy company used to be on Fastmail. Spam was definitely a problem. It's not EU based either if that matters (although the relevant servers may be).
- barbazoo 1y agoIt's hard to judge but for me Fastmail seems to be pretty great at detecting spam, at least it always ends up in my Spam folder. False positives are pretty regular, so far never actual human written emails though, only newsletters, but still. Overall for me a set and happily forget kind of service. Support is decent too.

- kstrauser 1y agoI use Apple's hosted domain service, which is included in the price of Apple One we were already paying for. It's been surprisingly great since I switched my domains to it.
- paul-tharun 1y agomxroute is pretty good with their spam handling
