Ungoogle yourself. Don't rely on google. I had transferred a quite valuable DID number to my Project Fi phone. Due to unfortunate circumstances I was not able to pay for a while. I lost:

1. The valuable number

2. Access to my Gmail Account. I know my PW but gmail won't let me log into gmail without confirming with the number that I lost. Hence, my gmail account is gone

3. Paid apps. I lost apps I paid for and that were linked to my phone or email, e.g. threma, insync etc.

Had a lawyer write to google. No answer. Don't rely on google for anything important. I have a new gmail for my Android. I don't even know it out of my head since I don't use it. Why would I?

At least Tuta has support. Somebody you can contact. But I prefer to control the domain too. Germany/US Based? I would prefer Switzerland or Iceland compared to EU/US jurisdictions.
