Purelymail – cheap, no-nonsense email

My personal email is on a .xyz domain and I used to use Gandi webmail as it was free with the domain name.

When I was finding a new job last year, every time sent recruiters an email with my resume (attached as a pdf), I had to ring them afterwards to check if they had actually received it.

I ended up switching to Google Workspace, just so that my emails actually had a chance of not landing in the recipients spam folder.

This isn't actually Gandi fault.

The amount of spam come from .xyz .top .cam etc are too hight and sysadmin usually factor domain tld into spam scoring.

so using a .com may increase your chance hitting inbox actually.

I've run into this same issue communicating with potential employers via GANDI mail--more often then not when I make a followup call my email is in their SPAM folder.

My sister-in-law's employer's mail service (k-12 school district) ALWAYS bounces back email from myself and my wife, and their sysadmin always says "Nope. Not a problem on my end."
