I have been locked out of my gmail acct of over twenty years since April of last year. Wouldn't recognize me when I traveled and even when I was at home. Wanted too much personal info, including my phone number so they could text some magic login code that didn't work. They wanted other email addresses and I decided they didn't need that and whatever was on my gmail acct was gone forever and found a new service.

I use protonmail.com now. If you want more than the minimum storage space you have to pay for it. I don't have much interaction through email anymore so I stay with the free storage space... I delete stuff after I've dealt with whatever it was about.

They are from Sweden and I like that they don't have connections to the mega platforms here.
