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?

I have elaborate Procmail rules that sort out the mail. It's not a very modern solution and the syntax is quite horrible, but it works quite well.

This is not strictly a self hosting answer, but given the problem you are describing, I think it is still relevant.

If you are already comfortable using an LLM based tool to manage email, take a look at SaneBox (this is not an LLM).

It is not an email provider and not an email client. It sits behind the scenes and works with almost any provider that supports IMAP, including custom domains. All the filtering, prioritization, and notification cleanup happens server side, so you keep your existing setup.

It excels specifically at what you are struggling with: automatically separating real human email from receipts, shipping notices, one time codes, and low value notifications, without forcing you into Inbox Zero workflows or Gmail specific features.
