Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

I'm thinking the mobile users are in the worst spot for this. For desktop all this random spam goes into its own tab that I never look at.

Alas, the spam in my "real" google inbox is all my fault. Shouldn't have gave substack my email address.

Vouching for FairEmail. It's by far my favourite mail client. It's material design and very safe cause it strips out all images by default or only tracking images if you choose.

honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.

Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.

thunderbird just got a major upgrade with new aesthetics.
