Spark for macOS and iOS can do something similar for any mail accessible via IMAP/POP/Exchange.
Spark is notoriously bad for privacy. This is a really poor recommendation given the article.

Apple makes its money from expensive hardware. And respecting your privacy and security helps selling it a lot . And they earned trust by being serious about it for a long time.
Uhm 2014 ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICloud_leaks_of_celebrity_phot... By comparaison, while there have been a few issues with Google, for a company that processes so much personal data, their track record is excellent. I can't think of any major personal data leak that could be attributed to Google. Maybe Apple got better within these 4 years, TBH, they most likely did. However, I don't consider 4 years to be…
A French non-profit named Framasoft [1] started a few years ago an effort named "degooglify internet" [2] and provides several open source solutions that you can self-host or use on their (arguably slowish) servers. [1] https://framasoft.org/ [2] https://degooglisons-internet.org/?l=en

This is ridiculous. It is the same company, Ads driven company, you're expecting to be nice just because you paid few dollars.
No, the G Suite product has a clearly defined privacy policy that's quite different to the usual Google one. If Google violates it they'll be liable to be sued for millions, at the least. It's not "expecting to be nice", it's "entering into a legal and business relationship that stipulates niceness".
scan and index your data to provide you with your services and to protect your data, such as to perform spam and malware detection, to sort email for features like Priority Inbox and to return fast, powerful search results when users search for information in their accounts.

Recently I started shelling out $25 a month for a G-Suite account. I wish I could have kept my @gmail email address, as I think your own vanity URL looks a little tacky, but oh well. Anyway, for privacy but also security it’s been amazing. DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and S/MIME for mail. All attachments are executed in a special sandbox before moving to your inbox (delays mail a little bit). None of my personal data / content…
> None of my personal data / content is scanned or looked at (I think?) How can you say "for privacy [...] it's been amazing" if you haven't even checked? They do say "Google does not collect, scan, or use your data in G Suite services for advertising purposes" and "Google does not sell [your] data to third parties" which mostly covers it, though (although ideally they'd strengthen the wording in the first part to sa…

Can you elaborate on the limitations you experienced with fastmail and protonmail?
I have used Fastmail for years with a custom domain without a single problem. Amazingly great communications from the company too. Highly recommended but not free. (Less than $2/month though - so almost free.)

I don't disagree that Apple looks really good nowadays from a privacy perspective. They treat their customers with respect and don't sell their data.... until they do. How can you trust a single point of failure to "do no evil"?
Apple doesn't have the data that Google et al has. All of the ML that apple does for example is done on-device or is privatized [0]. This goes for all of their services that Google has built their business off of: Messages, Siri, Maps, etc. People don't respect Apple's security because they trust Apple, they respect it because Apple has intentionally shot themselves in the foot if they wished to sell their data in th…
Huh? Apple potentially has everything on the device, just as Microsoft does. Maybe they don't touch it, at least intentionally, out of respect (or just prudence). But if I recall correctly, they accidentally logged all Safari URLs for a while.
I would recommend The Transparent Society by David Brin to anyone interested in this matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transparent_Society
Encrypted, open source, and cross platform :)

I’m not sure what you mean, isn’t your experience using G Suite as a paid service?
