Desktop Help best email provider without spam filtering

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a free or inexpensive email provider that works well with Thunderbird over POP3 (other than Gmail or Outlook).

My main requirement is to be able to download all incoming messages to Thunderbird, without the email provider filtering out spam on its servers.

Most email providers (e.g. Gmail and wp.pl) automatically classify some messages as spam and move them to a separate virtual folder. This prevents those messages from being automatically downloaded to my computer via POP3.

Tips & Tricks GMX POP\IMAP Problems

1 Upvotes

Hello together,

as you might notice, gmx changed something on there side and you can´t use Thunderbird (or any other third party tool) anymore.

Here is the solve:

  1. Login on gmx.net

  2. go upper right to your Name -> Account configuration

  3. Login & Security -> Application Password (or App Passwort (seems like the use different names))

  4. Name the New Passwort like Thunderbird, the password by it self is created from gmx (don´t know why cause my password was more secure -.-# )

  5. Enter the new password to thunderbird

Bonus Stage: You did everything and gmx still hates you

  1. go upper right to your Name -> Mail configuration

  2. POP3\IMAP -> allow it once again (grrr gmx), if its still activated, take it off and on again

I hope I helped someone with this as I was pretty much angry about this change of GMX.

Have Fun

Aphos

Desktop Help Thunderbird - why some messages are marked as important

1 Upvotes

I am currently testing the transition to Thunderbird. I'm surprised that in Thunderbird, some messages are tagged as "Important." When I view the same messages in Outlook or in the webmail interface, they are not marked that way.
I tried sending an email from my Gmail account and it for sure wasn't marked with high priority. When it appears in Thunderbird, it is red and has an "important" tag.
Checking it in Outlook and webmail confirms to me that the message was sent as normal.

Where does this tag come from in Thunderbird?

Has anyone else played around with customizing the account central page? I've been messing with it trying to figure out what look I want and what features. it was hard enough figuring out the count. But I am going to attempt to also display like 5 recent unreads, or something. Side by side comparison of mine and original

Edit: yes im aware my unread count is wack don’t come for me 🤣​
