Agree. And anyone could quickly go one from side to the other. In need of a expensive surgery? Might lose your financial freedom. Bought an expensive house and lost your job? Goodbye as well.

I always loved the intro music, and never knew who it was from or how it was selected. It is a very optimistic song, and I think that's what Star Trek is about as well.

Haha, that's weird and interesting at the same time. Though some people just have a naturally lower heart rate than others.

Haha, that's a scary thought. But not unreasonable. Fine first and let the recipient proof they are not at fault,fighting through a series of AI entities.

Ich hatte den ersten Absatz im Artikel auch nur überflogen und mir die gleiche Frage gestellt - Du bist nicht allein ;)

I published the Markdown file to Fastmail at this link (it is a text file). As it was initially written just for myself, the format might not be very readable :)

As my app posted the reply as a top comment, here it is again:

One important thing to take note of is: "Once your personal database has seen more than 200 spam and 200 non-spam emails, we automatically start using it to filter your incoming mail." This means, before you have received 200 spam emails (or marked them as such), the filter is going to perform significantly worse.

Personally, initially it was pretty bad compared to Gmail. However, it significantly improved over time. One thing that helps are masked emails (fantastic) - an email you can create, or is even created automatically for you, and then enter at dubious websites. If you get spam, you can simply block the whole email or fine tune it.

Paid Fastmail User here since around half a year. Did extensive research on what provider to use and trialed fastmail for four weeks before buying. I went for a 3 year period. Fastmail has a fantastic set of features.

There are providers that are focused more on privacy (e.g. PGP. encryption, not being based in Australia) but that was not my top priority.

I have created a lengthy guide as part of my transition: I published the Markdown file to Fastmail at this link (it is a text file). As it was initially written just for myself, the format might not be very readable :)

Came here because I just discovered Kagi. On the topic of de-googling, the effort is a fair point. Like the other poster said: Start small. A few months ago I moved away from Google Mail, Contacts and Calendar. After detailed research and trialing, I made the move - the practical part of it took actually surprisingly little time. I'm using Fastmail now, so at least that part Google now has only very limited access to. Might be doing the same with Kagi for search.
