I can't stress this enough: Use FastMail (and pay for it), it's better than GMail and doesn't pull this kind of shit on you. The post is very alarming, but at least you have a better option when it comes to arguably the most important part of Google, your email.
It's super cheap (I prepaid for two years or something and it came out to less than $3/mo), faster than Gmail and won't kill your life.
EDIT: I hear Protonmail is also good, just use one of the two. They're great.
