So I’ve spent hours deleting gmail emails on an account I’ve held on to despite moving to other providers. Had it for decades now. When I’m done switching the last of my accounts to my new emails, I think I’m going to make fake profiles in cat forums and select all the notifications I can just to fill Googles servers with bullshit.
In the days of memory shortages, I’m definitely not just giving them that 15 GB of space for them to use it to store and sell other’s info while they use the cash to buy legislation. It sure would be terrible if others wasted all their storage that way too. Fill it up with emails about crazy conspiracy shit, Jesus, and Grindr messages.
It is possible I am not understanding your comment, but Addy.io does not hide your emails from Google, no? It just forwards them from an alis to a mailbox, but they are normally not encrypted themselves
If you use some ADDITIONAL third party client to cypher the mails, basically if you cannot read them on gmail.com, then that should be ok hehe
But then again, why not switch to Proton/tuta?
Addy.io has a feature for encrypting your emails before relaying them to the recipient account. I use that. You never send an email to my actual Gmail address but always use one of my aliases, thus encrypting before it’s stored in my Google inbox.
I need Email aliases. And I don’t want to pay for an email account (yet another subscription).
Oh I see, that’s nice then! Only thing that might help, maybe switch from GMail to Proton as the inbox? Although they have a more limited space…
I would switch to Proton in a heartbeat if they supported IMAP. I use Thunderbird as my Email client.
