    Look in to switching to a privacy respecting email. It’s not for everyone, but i am very happy with the Proton suite of apps.

      I’d advise against Proton - they’re not good at actually respecting privacy and require a premium subscription to access your email over SMTP (making it much harder to switch away).

        Email isn’t private. They don’t scan your email for ads which is about all you can ask for

        Please expound on your thoughts. I happen to be a paid subscriber, cause I want to support them and I appriciate the extra features I get. So the issues with the free accounts arent a problem for me, but my friends who use the free account don’t seem to have any complaints.
