One look at my spam folder in gmail makes me realize why I wouldn’t leave. I’ve felt Google nailed spam detection.
Fastmail does a great job for me. Spam isn't a problem with legitimate email providers anymore.
Eh- I mean maybee that could be a reason, but Google has too much power and influence and takes advantage idk if that would be enough for me personally to stay but at the same time I can aknowledge that it could be a good reason to not leave.
They did not. They bought postini. Before then spam was really, really bad on gmail.
Certainly better than Microsoft. Outlook/live/Hotmail spam détections been fucked for the better part of 8 months.
Everyone is pretty good at spam detection these days. Also, this is a reason to have at least 2 email accounts—one you only give to close family and friends and one you use for commercial purposes.
And use throwaway/blockable for anything political too. (Apple has Hide My Email that lets you generate random email addresses linked to your primary that you can block with a click if they start to spam you hard immediately after.)
One look at my old Yahoo and Hotmail determined this was a lie.
Really? I rarely get spam at my Yahoo account that gets past the filter. 🤔
