Honestly, the only useful Google service these days is gmail. And that’s only because I don’t want to deal with changing providers after 15 years.

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

There's gotta be an app for that, though that could ve dangerous since you're letting it access your Gmail.

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the issue is with going through every service you've used that you might use again and changing the email. That can take many hours, depending on how many sites you have an infrequent need to use.

It took me about 6 months to de-gmail. Well worth it in the end. Im with paid protonmail now.

You can 'future proof' your mail by using your own domain and use it with your proton account.
So if you want or need to change your mail provider or self host in the future, you just need to redirect your domain to your new provider.

I wish other providers had the tab system that Gmail has, I'd switch in a heartbeat if it did. Folders just aren't as convenient.

Many do. I use labels on Fastmail and it's great!

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I use labels like folders, so I probably wouldn’t notice the difference.
