Yeah, gmail hit the nail on the head. No folders (originally), liberal use of archive, and you can still delete for true garbage.

Spam controls work really well too. I would like to de-google (already use ddg mostly), but tbh Google ain't that bad in the sense that although they have alot about me they don't seem to sell it as nakedly as FB.

I mainly just want out of Gmail because all of my internet accounts are tied to that address and it's known that your account could just be terminated by a bot for no reason and the only way to get it back is to make a stink on social media until a Google employee with connections sees it and takes the time to bang on some doors during their lunch break.

I'll probably switch to Fastmail and get an address set up with my personal domain so I'm not tied to any service. But yeah, as a service I don't really have any issues with Gmail.
