I think I'm going to go for it with Proton mail. They offer a free version, and you can upgrade for more storage or added security if you want to. Also have a tool to set up auto forwarding from gmail. Though I want to escape the junk mail haha, so I don't know if I'll do that.

@melodybrave.bsky.social @ambermccartney.bsky.social I'm considering proton mail. In their FAQ at the bottom of this page they discuss the difference between gmail and proton mail regarding privacy. And it's a company based in Switzerland, not the US. proton.me/mail

"Gaslighting is a centerpiece of narcissistic abuse & operates through a systematic pattern of generating doubt about your experiences, memory, perception, judgment, & emotions.”
