Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out

This worked as a great reminder to ditch gmail. Just made the switch to Protonmail after a year of procrastination. Currently an hour into changing all my accounts to it, and about halfway done. Well worth it. They got a Black Friday deal right now. I went with the base Mail+Calendar package because I already got Mullvad for VPN, and don’t need cloud storage.
Couldn’t be happier.

Hmm… Guess I’ll have to switch to Protomail. It’ll be annoying to try and change all my accounts to the new email…

Its a little annoying, but much less than I always feared. Make a note with every service you can think of, brew some coffee, put on some music and zone out for a bit haha. Pretty much done now, took less than 2 hours.
You got this!

Well, it’s going to be much more annoying with my work.
I’m a union rep at my work place. To that effect I created a second Gmail account for work/rep related mail. I still get half my mail sent to my personal email… Even though I have reminded them multiple times to send that to my work email.
Though it also took the 8 months to update my home address… I’m not entirely sure if it’s actually updated.
