EmailDiscussions.com - View Single Post - inbox.eu and inbox.lv user experience and review

I got an account in May as I wanted to evaluate inbox.eu over a long period of time as a alternative in case fastmail doesn't meet my need some day. I couldn't use POP/IMAP/SMTP during the free trial. I had to pay for the account ($3.58/year) to enable using a email client.

I use it as a IMAP account in Thunderbird. My quota is 95.4GB, not 100GB for some unknown reason. Seems reliable, good performance (I'm in the USA, they're in Latvia) and no spam so far.

Gmail and Yahoo have no problem with mail I send from that email address but Fastmail, Outlook and Comcast assume its spam (due to the domain, not the content). It wasn't on any of the 86 blacklists checked by https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx but was on one (spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net) of the 49 checked by https://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php . However, http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml doesn't list it in their database. Confusing.
