94. How To Pick an Email Provider
Manage episode 525057560 series 3553424
Episode summary
You have an email account, but how did you pick your email provider? Do you use Gmail simply because that’s what everyone you know uses?
I want your choice of email provider to be intentional, not accidental. Today is the first in a series of episodes where we’ll examine my most important considerations when picking an email provider.
Some will be "micro" considerations: specific, individual features. Do they have tags or folders? A "Report Phishing" button? How many aliases do they allow?
Some of them will be "macro" considerations: bigger-picture sorts of questions. How do they make their money? What kind of customer support do they have? Are they working to improve the email ecosystem for everyone?
I’m going to show you why I prefer Fastmail to Gmail and the other big free providers, like Microsoft, Yahoo, and Apple.
