Is Office 365 any better - or am I stuck running my own mail server if I really want privacy?
Fastmail
They do not compete on Privacy at all in my opinion. So then the choice comes down to price, features and economic viability of the organisation. I think price and features they are on par with Office 365, well at least for individuals not for enterprises.
But in terms economic longevity I think Microsoft wins hands down. Fastmail might be days away from bankruptcy, none of us would know as it is private company. I would rather have my personal email, that is the glue to modern life, with a Trillion dollar company than with a relatively new minnow.
Yes but did they go in and perm delete the Trash label/folder? They still are alive for 30 days. Three weeks is inside that window. >It also says you can delete this log by deleting the email, but three weeks after we deleted all email, the list is still there.

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.
As the top comment already noted, the email still exists in Trash, where messages get removed 30 days after they are deleted unless the user manually empties their trash. Emails in trash are obviously still indexed. (They show up when I search for "in:trash".) There are multiple other people who have said that deleting emails removes them from their purchase history.

No data in the hands of a third party custodian is secure. You need to delete your mail in less than 30 days, and store content you want to preserve in your home.
That's a little much to say. Because setting up a good secure sever isn't trivial.

You can also pay for GSuite for your own domains for better controls and support levels. A 3rd-party will never be as private as running your own mail server but that's not exactly easy either these days.
As a reseller of GSuite I can tell you this is plainly wrong. Support is virtually nonexistent for paid GSuite (by this I mean, it's the same outsourced team with no escalation path to anyone in engineering). Avoid at all costs for a business.

This is not the purchase history of Google product/services, it's anything you buy and use your gmail address. Example, if you use your gmail account for Amazon, your entire purchase history will be stored by Google and you can't delete it. And yours isn't the first comment in this thread who's question can be answered if they bothered reading the article. Some are quick to defend the actions of a corporation.
> Example, if you use your gmail account for Amazon, your entire purchase history will be stored by Google and you can't delete it. not anymore. amazon has stopped putting product information in notification emails for just this reason. Notifications are now generic, “your order confirmation” etc. you have to login to amazon to discover the order that was confirmed etc. makes email receipts much less useful but avoid…

Actually it can be. There are free archiving solutions for personal use. I run Mailarchiva [0] at home and it's fantastic for archiving mail and completely free for personal use. Encrypted on disk and you don't need to run it all the time if you don't want. Just fire up the VM for a few hours a month to archive the delta. Has been flawless for me so far and the archive searching is very fast. [0] https://www.mailarch…
