DMARC handling comparison for multiple email providers. SPF passing for all messages. DMARC misaligned.

Gmail shows a very prominent warning for quarantined emails, which go to the spam folder. Emails with no policy are placed on the inbox with no warnings.

Yahoo!

p=none (inbox) p=quarantine (spam)

Yahoo! just places the quarantined email in the spam folder. Other than that there's no difference, no warnings.

Outlook

Outlook just shows the same little warning it does for any junk email.

ProtonMail shows a prominent warning for quarantined e-mails. The warning for p=none seems unrelated with DMARC, they just thought the e-mail was suspicious (well, it was).

Tutanota also displays a prominent warning saying you should not trust the contents of the message.

All tested email providers sent p=quarantine to spam and p=none to the inbox.

Tutanota, ProtonMail and Gmail place a warning that will probably make a user think twice before trusting the email.

Outlook and Yahoo! show no specific warnings.

Regarding reporting: I received DMARC reports only from Google and Yahoo!. Other providers did not report.
