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.
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.
