i'd say it's by design but i'm at least 90% sure it's actually just because google is loving awful at making software and 10% intransigence

HAIL eSATA-n posted:I'd like to switch away from gmail but it's going to be such a pain the rear end I switched to Runbox recently because they're located where I live and I can literally go punch them in the nuts if they gently caress up. It was much less painful than I thought: informing actual people about your new email is easy, and after that I just lazily changed my email on services that sent me mail to my old address whenever something showed up. There's still mails going there but it's mostly newsletter spam. other advantage: once your email runs on your own domain, subsequent moves are much easier

thinking about it, I did the same thing with yahoo mail when gmail came out but I just had less reliance on email so it was quicker also those yahoo accounts still exist and act as amusing spam hubs for old accounts, as well as a flag on any service that sold their user lists

I’ve used a vanity email address hosted through Dreamhost for the last 10 years and it’s been fine. I only access through IMAP though.

switching off gmail doesn't stop them from tracking everything with my android phone or stop me from using google search and youtube even if I flip all the privacy switches so i'm not going to bother beyond using ublock origin and searching in an incognito window which is about as low effort as it gets

Google, by virtue of having the most* data can leverage that to defend against threat actors. They have a very good idea of what 'normal' is for you, your devices, your network etc. Its bad, but also sometimes good. Depends on what you view as a threat.
