    I’ve been off Gmail for years and deleted all my Google accounts. Here’s how you can do it, too.

    Step 1: Export your emails from Gmail into an EML file.

    Step 2: Sign up for a new paid email provider: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Proton to name a few.

    Step 3: Import your emails.

    Done.

    Optional Steps (that I recommend):

    1. Buy your own domain name (e.g., YourSurnameEmail.com)
    2. Set up your email provider to use your Custom Domain name. Or alternatively, sign up for a service like Addy.io and use your domain name there to create alias emails.
    3. Go to your domain name manager and add the settings your email provider tells you to use. This will enable your domain name to serve emails.
    4. Start sending and receiving emails using your own custom email address that belongs to you.
    5. Don’t like your email provider after a few years? Simply find a new one. Change your domain name settings to point your domain name to your new email provider. All your email addresses stay with you and you NEVER have to change email addresses again.
    6. Swap every email login you have to use a new alias email. For example, [email protected] for Facebook, [email protected] for some web site login, [email protected] for Steam gaming, etc. Save all credentials to your password manager.

    With this, you now have a unique email address for every single service, and all those alias email addresses forward your email to your actual email address. The benefit is that no one knows your real email address except you. Bye bye SPAM. When an alias email gets leaked or sold, you’ll know which company failed you. Simply swap to a different alias email, and disable the compromised alias - all SPAM stops.

    Some of my favorites have already been mentioned.

    Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice by Ninja Theory

    This lady is a standout from recent games I played in the past several years. Senua is an incredible character, complex, driven, and felt very human. I and probably a million other gamers connected with her deeply. Won’t say any more to avoid spoilers, but she was in one of the greatest games I ever played. Her actress, Melina Juergens, was perfect for the role in many ways (which I won’t say why here to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t played this game). Haven’t played the sequel yet, but I remember Melina won an award at the recent Game Awards for her performance in Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
