The article below really describes the Takeout method, but in many cases that is really not easily usable elsewhere. Thunderbird installs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and will connect to your GMail and fully sync that mail offline for you. This allows you not only to have a fully searchable offline repository of your mail, but it will also connect to any other mail service, allowing you, if you so wish, to use other mail providers whilst retaining all the history of your older e-mails.

DuckDuckGo announced on 20th July its brand new Email Protection feature that will allow users to save themselves from being tracked by trackers embedded into emails by forwarding them to a free and personalized DuckDuckGo email before being sent to their actual email.

One of the largest cornerstones of DuckDuckGo's offering, compared to Apple's Hide My Email, is its cross-platform compatibility. Apple's Hide My Email will only work on Apple devices. At the same time, thanks to DuckDuckGo's browser extension and apps available on other platforms, DuckDuckGo's Email Protection is available no matter where a user chooses to browse the internet.

How to set up your own private e-mail server at home with a Raspberry Pi Server using fully free and open source Citadel

Many other guides dive deep into 10 plus pages of how to set up such a service with Dovecot, Postfix and a web server all from the command line, but this one is a lot simpler because most of what you need is inside Citadel. Citadel also has calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks and chat rooms so can be a good alternative to Google or other providers. Your only cost really is the Raspberry Pi and a domain name if you don't already have one.

You could tweak this a bit further by using your own DNS provider (or alternative to Cloudflare) and considering an external hard drive connected to the Pi for reliability.
