How about stopping using Gmail then?

  Switching from a 0.028% probability to 0.0028% isn’t worth more hassle than just having ads every day, all the time.

  Aside from the issue here, and the PRIVACY mess, it's the best thing since email was invented. Availability, universally accepted, free (to the product: you), large storage, easy to use. There is no serious competition, and I say this as a Hotmail user since well before Larry and Sergey opened their doors. I have a vanity domain which MX's to Gmail so I can move it to another service _when_ they bumrush me, but I don't want to have that happen so I keep my account in good standimg. Other than self-hosting or a paid service, do you have a suggestion for an alternative? I know I'm not the OP, but I'm genuinely interested in this.

    I don't know about good free alternative with support etc. That's also why I'm paying ~50$/year for a mailserver hosting - I've moved from gmail to just that and so far I'm quite happy. Maybe someday I will spin up my mailserver also, but for now this is quite good balance between convenience & price for me.

    AS far as I'm concerned, the best thing since email was invented is Fastmail. The non-monetary costs of using gmail over a longer period are far higher than paying money for Fastmail. Most importantly, I know I can rely on my email.

  Dunno about you all, but I refuse to leave my email on American servers. Privacy doubleplusungood.
