>cool let me change my email i'm tired of spammers
>actually emails received on the old address will get redirected to the new one
very indian update indeed, you cant stop redeeming spam
>>
>>107674715
are there even any unique gmail addresses left that arent NameVerb14881337@
>>
>>107674742
My nigger, if you wanted a new one you could already get that
>>
>>107674715
Can't believe ""people"" use /g/mail. You only use it for JewTube and for your PlayStore Acc. Wtf is wrong with /g/???
>>
>>107674715
How long till somone finds an exploit to swap their random email to another persons legitimate address?
>>
>>107674876
It's easier to recover acess to your account if you somehow forget the password and it's harder to get hacked
>>
>>107674876
because other place go down every single day
>>
>>107674918
The dalits at google won't let me log into an old account because even though I have the password, they're asking me for a number from another country that I no longer have on a phone that I no longer have, and their solution is
>we don't care if you had something important there, just create another one lol
>>
>>107674959
Just use your Android phone to log in and they will let you. Don't use browsers, use the play store login
>>
>>107674918
I won't use gmail for anything private anymore, just like fucking outlook, only for services that require them, switch your shit to private alternatives, you don't want them reading all your shit and summarize everything with AI about your emails.
>>
>>107675061
>switch your shit to private alternatives
nonexistent
the private alternative was host your own email server and that is now effectively impossible if you want anyone to actually receive your emails
>>
>>107675061
Think about it, even if you use google search while being logged in, brainrotting on youtube, getting notifications on your android phone, scanning your apps. Fucking hell, even amazon emails, shopping emails in general, they read everything.
>degoogle, now. switching emails is something everyone can do.
>>
>>107675076
oh also I forgot that even if your "private email provider" is actually private, you're likely still emailing back and forth to people/companies using google or microsoft anyway, so your half being private means absolutely nothing
just treat email like SNS and assume it is compromised from the start

meanwhile with hotmail/outlook, since forever you can just add and remove aliases, and even set from which ones you can use to log in
>>
>>107675114
gotta give MS credit, I give out my hotmail address far more liberally since I set it up to catch all the business spam, and they do a much better job at blocking the jeet spam than google does nowadays

>rolling out in India
>already exists in India
there's that pride bullshit thing again

gmail is such shit
ever since september or so I've been receiving these emails from hook up sites, I think my shit got leaked, but I don't know who the fuck would even bother doing this shit.
>>
>>107675099
I was wondering... if I use gmail, but with a mail client like Thunderbird, I can encrypt my emails, if I know the recipient's public key, right? Is that sufficient, or can google even sniff into those messages? I'd expect the message gets encrypted BEFORE It's sent to google's servers.
>>
>>107675558
if you and your recipient both use something like PGP to encrypt the contents, yes that will remain private
headers are still visible though
>>
>>107675841
webmail doesn't expose your ip.
