Thanks for your observation. I changed to SiteGround in 2017 after my previous very small ISP shut down. I had checked with reviews and people I knew, who recommended SiteGround, and until this I have found their performance up to this adequate to good. When I had problems, they fixed them quickly, without complaining when I caused the problems. I would be interested what other people have to say, but my needs are modest and at this point I need to get other things done than spend time changing web sites.
I will say that given the amount of forged emails I see these days, I can understand taking a hard line on mail that looks like it might be forged. I had never heard of the company that had signed the email, so to me it was suspect.
We tried Siteground because I’d read some positive feedback. Unfortunately most of it appeared to be for their web hosting rather than their email. We moved to Exchange for work and I use iCloud for personal use. Both work fine for me although marking Junk/Not Junk in Apple Mail seems fairly useless on both platforms.
I don’t recall much difference in positive feedback for web sites and email, but I may not have been looking for it. I have moved much of my email to my personal domain after finding gmail had its own junk/not junk problems. I read all my mail on AppleMail, which does allow me to check for spam/not-spam mistakes, but does not let me correct them (unless I go into webmail). I have had very bad experiences with Microsoft on an alumni account, to the point where I simply have all the email forwarded to my personal account.
I find some benefit in marking Junk/Not Junk but it’s mainly in stopping the server from always putting mail from some sources into the Junk. My sense is that Gmail is about as bad as SiteGround, but it’s hard to be sure because I now keep most of my outgoing to my personal domain rather than sending through Gmail. I suspect there’s a lot of preprocessing of incoming email that we never see because it’s so easily recognized as junk.
Thanks for your comments. I’m going to be watching this more carefully.
