What email account provider do you use? Would be interested to get free of Google. .
Proton mail is excellent and comes with a decent VPN that is free for personal use.
If you want to get away from just Google, you can try iCloud or whatever Microsoft calls their Mail product now. If you want to get away with big tech run products, I recommend Proton. Of course you can always go full tinfoil hat and host your own email server with your own domain, but that will set you back at least 7 bucks a year, even if you for the cheapest register (Cloudflare, they don’t add their own fees at all, so you can’t really go lower).
Unfortunately I still use Google, just not on this particular phone or my tablet. I'm still in the process of gradually de-Googling myself.
I've heard Proton is good though, it's on my radar in the future.. https://proton.me/
Also, not for daily use, more as a throwaway email for sites that have no business asking your email.. https://www.dispostable.com/
Thank you, I will look into it!
