Thinking about switching from Gmail to some other email. They&#39;ve decided to move their purely Baynesian promotion filter under the same umbrella their AI features are under, so you can&#39;t have the first without the second, and I&#39;m fed up. Any suggestions?

@rodneylives@mefi.social I've been a happy Fastmail user for over a decade with no problems. But it's not free. I hear that importing from GMail is really simple. I haven't had to do it. Something to consider, at least. The cost, while not that high, is a barrier for some. Oh, and the web interface is really good.

@rodneylives@mefi.social been on fastmail for a while, email, calendar, and contacts. It's definitely more advanced to integrate into devices, but it's pretty solid.

@rodneylives@mefi.social Fastmail does a good job for me. But they do store your email in the US.

@rodneylives@mefi.social I've been using Zoho for several years with no problems. It works fine with Thunderbird.

@rodneylives@mefi.social ProtonMail has been working wonderfully since my switch from Gmail a year or so ago. Switching is fast and simple, includes Calendar/Planner, Docs, Meeting-App and its own AI companion - all with privacy-first approach. Hope this helps!

@rodneylives@mefi.social I started using Tuta Mail as I was looking for something that isn't hosted in the US.

@rodneylives@mefi.social I have been using fast mail and it you would like to use my referral link to sign up then you'll get 10% off your first year and I'll get $10 on partner stack (whatever that is 🤔) https://join.fastmail.com/e772c08d

@rodneylives@mefi.social Tuta, Mailfence or buy your own domain and set up your own email.

@rodneylives@mefi.social Protonmail has a free option I think, and it's as good privacy as you're going to get.
