    I’m using Gmail as an email client. I tell Gmail to go to fetch emails from my other accounts and so I have unified email. I don’t use @gmail.com as my primary address.

    Problem: from today Google discontinued the feature and they warned me only yesterday.

    Which webmail has almost feature parity with Gmail?

    I need filters and fetching emails from multiple accounts. I have a dedicated server so the part of fetching email can be done from an external program

      The normal process would be to tell these other accounts to send emails to your primary account. Why would you even authorize another software (or mail provider) to fetch them instead.

      Filters are available (almost) everywhere.

      edit: I also don’t see why this forwarding-or-fetching is necessary at all. It’s easy to maintain several email addresses on any device.

        my reasoning is that forwarding can fail, while if i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk, i don’t have problems

        also: forwarding changes the original headers, and if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

          forwarding can fail

          how so?

          i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk

          That can also fail.

          forwarding changes the original headers

          if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

          Both these things are fixable with standard mailing software.

          PS: I also don’t see why this forwarding-or-fetching is necessary at all. It’s easy to maintain several email addresses on any device.

        Please don’t just forward all you unencrypted email to the biggest data scanning company in the world

          What the other commenter suggests is not better.

      I have good experiences with Ionos (with my own domain. But they like to upsell you with stuff you don’t need).
      The Business mail tier also supports Exchange Active sync (flaky on Android. Works well on iOS). The business/basic tier has CalDAV/CardDAV (which I use on Android with Davx5.

      Their spam is a bit overzealous. But if something ends up in there, you A: Can whitelist the sender
      B: Receive an info-mail at the end of the day about new messages in the folder.

      The webmailer is neat. But I rather use Thunderbird.
