They don't support custom domains ( https://posteo.de/en/site/faq ).

#282> Another reason because of which I'm leaving GMail is because it's kinda slow. A full load with an empty cache takes about 20 seconds on my desktop (good specs, wired Internet connection).

It's that slow because there's just so much JavaScript going on.
Indeed, but that's an engineering failure. I even think that Gmail makes sense an SPA. It should be JavaScript. They've just overcomplicated their implementation.

#284Gandi may also be an option here - a domain registered with them comes with two free mailboxes, each with a few GBs of space and calendar support. (Yes, yes, this is the same company that lost the data on their cloud servers.)
I think they eventually restored that data.

I use the basic HTML version, which is much faster. You can change your default here:

Microsoft's spam filter is awfully strict (the one for outlook.com at least but I don't think the one for its employees is that different)
From what I've seen, outlook.com does seem to have some special case for mail from people you've sent to. I did some experiments a few months ago, and again a week or two ago with mail delivery, and outlook.com was one of the targets. Here's what I did. I have a domain, which I'll refer to as @mine in the following. It's a .net domain that I've had for 20+ years. It has never been used by anyone other than me. Before…
I can confirm that outlook.com is truly awful in that regard. The fact that I continously got important emails marked as Spam, even when they were from an UN org and I've exchanged emails with some of the participants before, made me leave it and migrate to Mailbox.org.
Now I sometimes my emails don't make it to MSFT inboxes, but it has been less of a problem so far. And after having set the Junk filter to the most permissive settings (something that you can't with Outlook.com), only one "legit" Phishing mail landed there.

Sorry, I meant GYB: https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back
Why not use google.com/takeout to download it instead?
sorry for the late response, but reason is you can't do a restore with takeout. I can backup from GSuite, and restore into consumer gmail. Its how I did my migration. Or any other combination. It also backs up in Maildir format, which is more compatible with more tools than in mbox format that takeout gives us. So it's just a more versatile tool. You can always convert mbox to maildir, there are tools like mb2md. but ive had issues where it mangles HTML emails and images.
