I made the jump to Fastmail and I'm very happy with it. Web interface is at least as good as Gmail's. Thunderbird keeps a local copy of my emails, I control the email domain. I can create backups. The second you get back in you gotta get off this platform.
Yikes! good luck, hope it works out. This is scary. Gmail is still, by far, the best email app. Something like this could happen to me and, I suspect, a lot of other people.
The best email app wouldn't ban you for an emoticon in Youtube chat or sending a medical photo to your doctor.
My strategy is to only use GMail and no other Google service at all (cloud, ads, ...) This way there is little possibility of somehow being labeled as fraudulent.
> because (like a fool) You are no fool. No doubt you are way above average intelligence. This so-called "security" ecosystem of Big-Tech is a dumpster fire of rotting clinical waste. Hope it doesn't spoil your holiday break - and for goodness sake make a New Year Resolution - to quit this madness forever.
You don't matter for Google and creating HN spam threads won't change that. At worst, it will solve your particular problem and invite similar spam threads from other victims of faceless corporations.
Until there is regulation, you’re probably going to be out of luck.
Google's strategy of locking out people from "everything" is just insane! Someone needs to lawyer up and make them pay through the nose for stealing access to individual’s personal data that doesn't even belong to them.
Lesson learned, don't do unnecessary stuffs while everyone is on holiday.

The Apple Mail app on iOS and MacOS is pretty decent. No need to use the official Fastmail client (if you are on Apple and prefer the simple Apple alternative).
