Have any of you heard up Posteo being flagged unprofessional? I recently heard someone say that I am curious if there is truth to it.

Anything beside the own domain is unprofessional, if you run a business.
As an individual i think it speaks for yourself as caring about the environment and privacy.
I actually don’t care about the environment and I realize email is never going to be private. I like Posteo as it avoids the feature creep.
Try cock.li
Emails like
user@cocaine.ninjais fine for random internet shitposting, but if I had to use cockmail for anything involving real life responsibilities I’d go for domains likeairmail.ccorfiremail.ccat registration.I use one from the first group as my work email 👍
To be honest, I am tempted to use one of the edgier domain names in my CV just to see their reaction. I’m tired of faking everything’s perfect just so the crazies at LinkedIn doesn’t send my cv to trash bin.
As a personal email its just fine. I’ve had people comment on the fact that my “firstname.lastname@posteo.org” made me seem more professional than others using whatever @gmail.com address they could get their hands on.
No, not at all.
That sounds like some often parroted but never actually a thing job hunting advice from the late 90’s.
People said Gmail was unprofessional in 2005, don’t worry too much about what business majors think.
It still is.
If there’s one thing the corporate world takes seriously, it’s concerns about the Googleopoly.
It isn’t a good move.
A domain name can cost as little as £10, similarly most email services cost ~£5-£15 per person per month. Its normally pretty easy to link a domain to an email provider and doesn’t cost anything other than time.
If a company can’t be bothered to implement the most basic online branding people will make their assumptions and some will filter your company out because of it. With the cost to implement so low (e.g. £160 per year), even the loss/gain of a single customer would justify it.
That’s great and all, for tech sectors, but I’m not going to judge Joe’s Landscaping or Carol’s Cupcakes for using Gmail and quite frankly Joe and Carol are probably better off missing out on those clients.

Yeah its probably better to eat from Joe’s taco shop than it is to go to Freddie’s
Some people aren’t tech savvy enough to do that. (Think independent contractors or musicians)
