True. It's a mistake to do a job search using gmail. Interview invitations and job offers are going to go straight to spam.

Sending email to Google is always a crap shoot and I still find to this day that sometimes when I send email contains logs to my own account using my own account credentials it'll end up being classified as spam.

Right now, Google is refusing to deliver email from logwatch - giving me the "Message rejected. See https://support.google.com/mail/answer/69585 for more information." so those are going to /dev/null with no recourse to fix it because Google literally doesn't like the content of the email.

The fact that I can't hit a button and tell Google that yes indeed I'm not trying to spam myself is ridiculous.

That was the case for me few years ago. But I decided to set up mailserver once more recently and Gmail to my surprise accepted my mails. I configured everything mentioned in article.

That said, my outcoming mail traffic is almost non-existent outside of few test emails, LoL.

I have an old, but frequently used email address that got force-moved from a pass through relay to gmail.

After setting gmail to forward everything, I noticed it was sending 33% of my legitimate email to spam.

They don’t let you disable the spam filter, but you can set up an escoteric filter that prevents it from actually putting stuff in spam.

I honestly don’t understand how people cope with gmail. Fastmail is cheap and orders of magnitude better.

I created my gmail account in 2004 I think. Things were different back then. Now there's just 16 years of momentum preventing me from switching.

I like the idea of hosting my own email but even if I get around to doing that I will still need a backup. Fastmail is probably where I will go.

With Outlook you can't unfortunately do that. Create rules, which would un-spam mail. Because filters aren't applied to spam emails at all.
