It wouldn't be possible for me to overstate how much I dislike this feature. It's one thing I can't stand about Gmail and from what I've observed, iCloud has this now too. I'm wondering if people actually find this more useful than a hindrance. I mean, I have spent days with several email addresses creating my own filters so I get not everyone can do that. But the way this is typically implemented just seems like another spam mailbox that no one's going to check.
I assume they will but if Proton doesn't have a way to disable this, I am out.
What would actually be cool is a dedicated newsletter app. I use BigNews as an RSS reader and newsletter reader. They give me an email address just for newsletters. It's fantastic.
I’m in a similar boat. I always disable this feature.
But I’m also pretty good at avoiding junk mail or unsubscribing from newsletters. So I guess I’m not the target user for such a feature.
Honestly, I really like it. I use it on iOS, and it seems to do a bang-up job of sorting emails based on what they’re about.
For example, I get statements for my credit card, but I also get the marketing emails for shit they want to sell me. The mail app has always correctly sorted those into the “promotions” folder. And it also does a good job with transaction emails, such as for Venmo or Steam. It even knows when an email is a dev blog for a game or software I follow, and correctly sorts that.
I give those folders a quick peek to make sure the AI didn’t mess up, then archive those without reading them.
