AdBlock works perfectly well with gmail (my manual filter is mail.google.com##[class="mq"]). For privacy, I have installed "Mymail-Crypt for Gmail", but I know noone who uses pgp.

All the UIs I've seen in the last several years present threads flat (without any hierarchy). If there are other modern mail clients that have this kind of UI, I'd love to see them.
Thunderbird and Postbox https://www.google.fr/search?q=thunderbird+screenshot+thread... http://www.postbox-inc.com/images/screenshots/1_main_interfa...
I've actually used Postbox and didn't realize it could do that. Thanks!

#43I installed http://www.iredmail.org/ on a five buck a month Droplet at DigitalOcean around six months ago. Seems to work great and I control it. I never use Roundcube. I use IMAP from the built in Mail.app on OS X. There is even a tutorial to set everything up. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-insta...
I use a home made version of iredmail I.e. Debian, postfix, dovecot. I use various IMAP clients for access.
Works wonderfully.

What about spam filtering?
Re: Switching from Gmail to FastMail
#45I've been trying FastMail for the past two months or so and have been very impressed; it's actually better than GMail in many ways. Most importantly to me, it seems to be quite a bit faster than GMail for me.
One problem I've had is with their spam filtering. I've marked everything spammy as Spam (some 800 messages so far), but I can't figure out how to get things marked as non-spam (so that the personal database gets enabled). I've setup auto-non-spam folders and a lot of messages get routed into those, but they're not being counted as non-spam. I've also moved a few messages manually, and they also don't get counted.

It uses spamassassin which works pretty well.

Or just, you know, block the ads for a fraction of the effort.
With what? I _do_ care about running random plugins in my browser that update in the background. There's nothing stopping a malicious plugin from scraping stuff out of your email, and I feel like _that_ is a legitimate security concern!
There's nothing stopping a malicious webmail provider from scraping stuff out of your email, which, BTW, is the whole point of this post.
Fastmail isn't even under the control of your local firewall.

#49"Ready to give FastMail a shot? I’d suggest:
Moving all your existing email to FastMail."
This is not how you test things. For those prices vs storage I'd rather roll my own if I had to move off Gmail
Re: Switching from Gmail to FastMail
#50For me, it's not that I'm afraid of GMail removing IMAP, it's that Gmail IMAP works really, really bad. For an email-client to work well with Gmail, it has to be tailored to Gmail, and that has given me some issues lately. For instance, most of my mail is sorted into labels, skipping the inbox. When using a mail client with IMAP, these labels shows as folders. Deleting the mail from my client, doesn't delete it from…
What happens if you delete from the All Mail folder?
