Has anyone ever used Gmail/Outlook alternatives before? What do you think about it?
by•
There are so, so, many email apps out there:
Superhuman, Hey, Slashy, Cowork gmail plugin, Spark Mail, Proton mail, Spacemail, Titan, Shortwave, Alfred, Canary, Spike, Tuta, Skiff, Icloud, Zoho, Yahoo (if it counts even).
But has any one of us tried it before? Why/Why not?

I try alternatives, then Gmail drags me back with muscle memory. The switching cost is weirdly emotional for something this boring.

@sarveshsea You're right. people would be suprised at sometimes how the most borign things have the higherst switching cost, because they are so ingrained in your routines.
Side note: The base "dirac" without ai is pretty much similar to gmail. What do yoou think about it? Would there still be a big switching cost?
Just trying to do some learning here :)
I just fine with Gmail 😅

@grover___dev Interesting, this is useful market research. How many emails do you receive on avg?
