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?

Don't unsubscribe, just send to spam. Unsubscribe just confirms you're a real person and you get put on a list for more spam. Spam folder achieves the same thing without sending any sort of signal back to the sender. Also if enough people flag it, it'll go in my spam folder automatically. Thank you for your service.

When you're getting notifications/newsletters from legitimate platforms like e.g. Amazon or GitHub it's smarter to unsubscribe from these specific mails. Otherwise you will be screwed when some important mail somehow ends up in the spam folder.

Nothing important goes in my email.

Not sure what this sentence means, but feel free to use pigeons instead.
