I made an alternative to Gmail. (port87.com)
 
 

Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin, and I made a new email service called Port87.

Gmail was a great email service back in 2006, but now it just sucks. They put ads in your inbox that look like unread emails to trick you into clicking them. To me, that means Gmail is malware.

I’ve been degoogling my life for the past 7 years, and Gmail is the last Google service I depended on. I love ProtonMail and use it too, but I developed a new way to sort email automatically, and wanted to write my own service based on it.

Port87 lets you use a tagged address like yourname-netflix@port87.com, and that automically creates a “netflix” label and puts all email to that address in it. This helps keep your email organized automatically, and protects against spam and phishing.

The database abstraction library I wrote for Port87 is called Nymph.js, and it’s open source. Also the UI library I wrote is called Svelte Material UI, and it’s open source too.

I hope you all like it, and hopefully it can help migrate away from Gmail.

Port87 - automatically organized email. (port87.com)

Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.

If you give the address "yourname-netflix@port87.com" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.

Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label (yourname-friends@port87.com), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.

Your "bare address" (yourname@port87.com) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is hperrin@port87.com.)

Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.
