Comment on Notion Mail - Off the waitlist

Well to be fair it does say this in the FAQ section on their product page:
Q: Which email provider(s) will Notion Mail be compatible with?
A: Notion Mail will integrate seamlessly with Google and Gmail accounts at initial launch.
I assume this is because they are using Google’s APIs to access your email and just provide some extra bells and whistles on top of that.
Makes it utterly worthless to me though. I’m trying to slowly REMOVE Google and Gmail from my life completely, not get locked in on using it.

What would you recommend for this purpose? I currently use eM Client.

I can’t make any recommendations as having a desktop or alternative email client isn’t what concerns me, just having a non-Google provider. I’m currently using Proton.

How rough was the switch? I can’t imagine changing all my accounts that use my Gmail address, but I’d like to move to something else.

I’m doing it slowly. Anything new I register with the new email, obviously. I moved over the most important things, and then everything else I switch at the point I come to use that site or service again.
I keep my gmail available in my browser on the laptop for.this purpose, but have signed out from it on phone and removed the app from phone, so the friction encourages me to keep switching things over.
