Find a provider that isn't trying to lock you into their surveillance state.
In other words, be your own provider? Any company that offers 'free' email is making their money somewhere else...often through the sale of 'user data'...
It's not impossible to set up your own email server at home, provided you have
a valid web address to route it through...
Better still would be to host it on a VPS. If it's mail-only, you can probably find something for $5-$10 per month that'll run Postfix and
Dovecot.

Last I checked, Oracle were giving away ARM-based cloud VMs ...
Oracle never give anything away! But all cloud vendors are following
AWS' lead, the latest being being Azure with Ampere ARM cores https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/05/microsoft_ampere_azure_vm/
Actually, many VPS come with their own blacklisted IP.
If you use a cheapo provider such as Hetzner they are very likely to give
you an IP which used to be assigned to somebody else, and if that person managed to get it into a blacklist, so you will be.
I'm currently sending emails from various Pis via
Gmail. I'm assuming that the forthcoming changes to
Gmail authentication will break this. Has anyone
worked out how to resolve this ? I've had a look on-
line, but nothing has shown up. I'm using a combina-
tion of msmtp and mpack to send.
I hear that Sypheed Claws supports OAuth:
https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Oauth2
What is this -- Google's abomination or a truely free
authentification protocol?
If I generate an outh gmail password for one program (e.g. Thunderbird), can I
then just use that same password for any other program, or do I need to generate
one password for each program? Must that program support oauth?
