You have to be able to write enough to prompt an LLM. So why not just send the prompt, since that's what you actually said?
Gmail can guess what you want to say without you having to type a prompt.

I was quite surprised how much better search and spam filters are on fastmail. Both things I did not believe a small company could do better than Google, but I think they did. I also find the interface better. I was also expecting Google to have resources for optimizing details, that a small company wouldn't get around to. Fastmail also lets you e-mail a real person for help and they usually take it very seriously -…
Are you kidding me about the spam? I have 3-4 spam emails land in my inbox every day on Fastmail. It's horrendous.

Comparing a few based on cheapest annual plan that includes custom email domains: mailbox.org € 30.00 / $34.71 10GB+5GB storage, ample aliases, multiple domains, up to 10 family accounts proton.me € 41.04 / $47.88 15GB storage, 1 account, 10 encrypted email addresses, 1 domain fastmail.com € 51.44 / $60.00 60 GB storage, 1 account, multiple domains For more accounts/users (e.g. Proton Unlimited or Fastmail Family), t…
purelymail.com: $10.00* unlimited** storage, unlimited accounts, unlimited domains *or possibly less if you choose pay-per-use pricing **soft limit if you use way too much
* it's based in the US
* it's run by a single guy (bus factor = 1)
Looking for your alternative? Let me give you some (non financially motivated) praise for Fastmail. It has everything Gmail has - even app passwords, hide my email, and ios integration. The only criticism is the calendar doesn’t autocomplete addresses so that’s a bit more typing than I would like. But everything you do in Fastmail is instant . They live up to the name! Once you try it and go back, you’ll be shocked -…
Then again I also moved from gmail to mailbox.org and am a happy camper since. I don't know if we are a majority but I find myself cutting all ties with google services (youtube premium, drive, gemini etc.) as they try to force unwanted features and workflows in my daily life.
Overly aggrieved style of writing. There's some prompts in Gmail to use AI. These are supposedly indictments of the author's writing or intellect? Anyway, the setting is in General and then Cmd-F "smart" and turn everything off.
Unfortunately, this also turns off the Primary/Promotions/Social/Updates categorization.
I just want to see my inbox, I don't trust an AI filter to sort emails for me.

my only problem with fastmail is their spam filtering is so bad. they mistake legit emails quite often
It's not. I wrote about this a couple times. Here's how it works: the personal spam filter kicks in after having trained on ~100-200 spam emails. You need to mark them as spam (you might want to use a filter initially if they all have a common pattern) and delete them regularly from the spam folder. Spam training kicks in only when you a spam message is deleted (to avoid training on false positives) I went through th…
Just the other day it threw an invoice from AWS into spam! Regularly throws financial docs into spam. Like it’s hard for me to imagine how that happens.

I brought it up with support once and the domain was failing DMARC. Headers from the AWS email that has a spam score of 9.1! I don’t know much about email but something must be wrong there on Fastmails side.

I have no idea why people don't just use a standard imap mail client, Thunderbird being the most obvious choice here.
If only there was some way to learn the answer to questions.

One of the handy things that Fastmail (among other providers) lets you do is set up a wildcard email address, so literallyanything@mydomain goes to a specific folder. Any time I want to sign up for some service I don't trust, I'll give them a specific email address. Long-standing practice, blah blah. Also, as my sibling said, "mash that unsubscribe button". Less practically, it is pretty obnoxious for you to act supe…
I think seeing superiority or obnoxiousness in the comment you replied to was a pretty large reading error on your part. The tone was sympathetic to people whose inboxes receive more than they can handle. The last sentence of your comment sounds quite condescending.
But categorization doesn't reduce volume of received messages and it remains more than they can handle.
