There are many options to pay for email, fastmail just for one. Do you use one of them?

  Google isn't just an e-mail service, really.

    But… you don’t really have to use Gmail to use most of Google’s other products, just as you don’t really have to use (actively) Google+ to use other Google products either.

      But imagine you use an Android phone, for instance. There's a whole bunch of integrated stuff that works well together that wouldn't if you had a Google account and then kept your e-mail somewhere else. It's not really a 1:1 comparison.

      Unfortunately no. You are going to be tracked whereever you go and it has GA. The reason why Google can stop reading your emails is because they have a global network now that can track you better.

  And how exactly will I escape Google's data collection when Fastmail uses GA for analytics? ....script type="text/javascript" src="/static/scripts/ga.js....

    Run a broad-spectrum blocker like uBlock Origin? Access your fastmail from an interface other than their web interface?

      Ok so there is more involved than just use Fastmail, as it was suggested. Thanks for confirming.

    That’s the marketing site; the actual app where you read your email definitely doesn’t have Google Analytics.
