And oh by the way, opting out turns off the auto-categorization and fills your inbox with spam.

How the fuck do I switch from this stupid service?

    The problem I've been seeing with email on my own domain is that some services refuse it, saying "please enter a real email address" 🤬 some others just silently refuse to send a confirmation code so I can't register either (I think tinder did this). Especially the "not a real email address" really pissed me off.

    And with proton I got "Anonimisation services are forbidden" once at least.

    I forget which services, but it's Hella annoying..

    The marketshare of Google and Microsoft on email is really becoming a problem.

    If you’re not already doing so, you probably should use a 3rd party client that can connect to Gmail and filter out spam.

    If you tell us what platforms you use, we can probably provide some recommendations of stuff to explore.
