Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox (feddit.nl)

I've got two domain names set up for work and personal email, but I'm absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000. Most are those annoying notifications like "Your security code is xxx," "Your parcel has shipped," and requests to rate my experience.

Right now, I've been trying out Inbox Zero with an old Gmail account. It's cool, but honestly feels a bit overkill and only works with Gmail and Outlook. I switched to my own domains to get away from Google in the first place!

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters and can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter. Bonus points if it supports custom domains.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm trying protonmail now and the aliases are really nice, too bad you have to set them up in Proton pass though, that app is not as good as bitwarden. Only downside so far is that all emails end up in the same inbox, so I have to do some extra sorting and labelling to get things organised.

The discussion got derailed a bit in the privacy aspect. I think Proton mail has pretty good privacy(good enough for me). I don't think they will get a court order to release my emails any time soon. It's good to know they offer some protection against mass surveillance and don't sell your data for marketing.
