Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox (feddit.nl)

I've got two domain names set up for work and personal email, but I'm absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000. Most are those annoying notifications like "Your security code is xxx," "Your parcel has shipped," and requests to rate my experience.

Right now, I've been trying out Inbox Zero with an old Gmail account. It's cool, but honestly feels a bit overkill and only works with Gmail and Outlook. I switched to my own domains to get away from Google in the first place!

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters and can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter. Bonus points if it supports custom domains.

Any suggestions?

Did anyone try CLI clients, like (neo)mutt for that? I expect it can be set up on a server (if we consider self-hosting) and do this job automatically. While all the AI thingy feels like magic, my practical experience shows that there are just some keywords or even just the sender, with which mails can be sorted.

It sounds like notmuch is your bag. While it has its own CLI, it also works great with neomutt, aerc, and others.

You can also do very powerful presorting with sieve if your server supports it.

Thanks for not much, I have never heard of it before.
