As another person mentioned, your email contents aren't used to target ads, and you can pay for gsuite.
>As another person mentioned, your email contents aren't used to target ads Yea, companies have never lied to users before, right? You're still trusting a company that is notorious for snooping and tracking folks to make a quick buck.

They're not reading your emails, right? How else would they know this much information?

As another person mentioned, if you have gmail and visit here, google knows about every purchase you have made, the price you paid, etc: https://myaccount.google.com/purchases They're not reading your emails, right? How else would they know this much information?
None of those things require targeting advertisements based on email content. And that's what isn't happening.
If anyone's gone through this trouble already, care to explain how you did it? I've been thinking about rolling a VPS with postfix/dovecot, but it seems like such a hassle to maintain, and I'm not super confident in my ability to secure it.
Find an email provider, sign up/pay for service, and use it. I recommend buying a domain, so you can have a fairly static email address even if you end up changing providers later on. Rolling your own email service never seemed worth it to me. You'll have to deal with backups/recovery, maintenance, and any quirks associated with the big mail places rejecting mails from your service. I'm almost certain someone will ch…
Like google perhaps?
Which other emailer has threads, snooze, and tabs? (need all of those really; hard to move without them) I do hate that I can't just pay for gmail and avoid the crappy ads...

More like $10 a year for the domain and $20/mo or more for the actual email hosting and provider.
$20/month? I pay less than $3/month for web/mail hosting, full cPanel setup with 10GB storage and unlimited traffic.
I wonder why nobody mentioned zoho.com (from India) and products they offer. They have docs as well as other apps that any business needs and no privacy issues.

The pain is worth it!
Another fun tip: Enable catch all for your emails and then provide different email for each purposes, like this website can have email ycombi@yourdomain.com and so on. I love to regularly see which website fucked up handling my email id and I just silently block that email in a click (and hence, much less spams).
> First, I strongly suggest you buy a domain name, so that you really own your mail address Any opinions on that? I did so years ago (mostly for the reason of being independent of a mail provider) but meanwhile I realized you never "own" a domain. It's always just rented. It would be bad if someone gets in control of my domain so I just hope this won't happen before I'm dead... And even then it could be bad if it hap…
If you have Gmail click this link, it is an eye opener: https://myaccount.google.com/purchases Google knows every online purchase you ever made, every line item, the price you paid, the address it was delivered to, and so on. Keep in mind that Facebook and Google also combine this data with offline data about you purchased from other companies, to complete the picture. UPDATE: Here's an example of Google purchasing d…
This just looks like a list compiled from invoices/receipts that were sent to my gmail from various vendors that has been parsed. Actually there's a lot of stuff that is missing. Seems pretty tame actually, but I also don't use gmail for my whole life. I'm a big advocate of privacy, but I think Google is pretty open about what they do. If you don't want this, there are usually ways to opt out and still use the servic…
