Is Office 365 any better - or am I stuck running my own mail server if I really want privacy?

You could try Protonmail. It's secure and supports GPG out of the box.

They have a free tier that they run as a "charity case". As with anything where your data _isn't_ the price, they have paid tiers too.

This is silly. Of course Google still has your purchase information if you haven't deleted the email. It's like complaining your email search index can't be deleted without deleting the indexed emails.

They already deleted the emails. From the article

> When I click on an individual purchase and try to remove it — it says I can do this by deleting the email, after all — it just redirects to my inbox and not to the original email message for me to delete, since that email no longer exists.

I realize that doesn't answer your question about 365, but I meant to simply let you know there are good privacy friendly paid services too :)
