I’d like to remind folks that there are several other top-tier email service providers that have less motivation for user lock-in. They generally charge a few dollars a month, which IMO is a bargain given how much of a hassle maintaining an email server is. And it’s nice to be the customer rather than the product being sold once in a while. My personal favorite is Fastmail. They use app passwords for third party clients rather than OAuth.
