Wait... people still use Gmail as personal email? Anyways, email lost its use, now is just a relic, like a dying fax machine. I still use it but with a private domain and self-hosted (sometimes PGP encrypted) - only for personal communication if is needed. A throw away with protonmail for crap things. I do not use anything else. I've explained some other aspects here: https://darth-coin.github.io/general/avoid-being-spammed-en.html
