When you work with tech companies this kind of overautomation is rife. > Everyone here is commenting about overautomation, but this isn't an overautomation problem. (In the interim, they use a non-personalized filter, which as I said, still worked!) Gmail doesn't seem to be able to make personal spam decisions: When I was regularly using Gmail, some types of regular messages would spam-bin no matter how many times I marked them not spam or classified them as a particular category of mail. It probably took me six to eight months to receive enough spam on Fastmail to actually train it. One important point here, and I don't know how long you used Fastmail when you tried it, is that Fastmail uses a personalized spam filter. at this point, Gmail is 98% spam for me?) (Meanwhile, my Gmail account I retain in case someone tries to reach out to it, regularly has emoji-subject-filled spam and other garbage Gmail fails to classify, and also has a deluge of garbage spam coming in. I do occasionally get the "my husband left me five mil overseas" type garbage, it's always spam-binned correctly. So, I moved to Fastmail in 2016, and I'd say I've never had to get a legitimate email out of my spam folder, and I've never seen obvious spam hit my inbox. The risk of something going wrong with GCloud and that metastasizing to my (or anyone's on the team) personal Google account (or vice versa) is huge and just not worth the risk. At work, where I'm CTO, I have open access +MSAs to the three major cloud providers - BUT I am very hesitant to use anything but AWS/Azure. I've heard stories about people losing personal accounts like this due to GCloud usage. Because the original shutdown notice was a mistake? Not sure. Because I spoke to customer service? Not sure. Was it because I upload passport photos? Not sure. Ultimately it did not disappear in 30 days. The automated websites where you upload photo ID to prove identity didnt work and didnt give an absolute confirm/reject.so i slept uneasily for almost a month knowing that my 20yr account might disappear. It appears to be because of an "associated" (whatever that means) Google Business account for a startup where I worked where they shut off my GSuite account after I resigned, but customer service couldnt provide a real explanation why it would also terminate my personal Google account. This is a paid tier Google account and I've yet to get an explanation on why this happened. It took two weeks to duplicate the content and back it up elsewhere. Family photos, youtube videos, 20yrs of email, not to mention the treasure trove of personal documents on GDrive. I had a scare last year where Google supposedly gave me 30 days before they would shut off my Google account of 20yrs.
