I used to be concern over what happens to all the sensitive information I put out on google's servers, I was so concerned that I even started following Richard Stallman's guidelines until I realized how quality of my life decreased and how unhappy I've become for the sake of being secured. You can of course achieve some balance and protect only the most important things to you but don't fall into the trap of overdoing it.

I'm back to using Gmail again.

I understand the sentiment. I certainly have my own bouts of intense paranoia related to security and the privacy of my personal stuff. It can become unhealthy. However, I think as long as the majority are complicit with email providers that don't offer end-to-end encryption, we may fall deeper into the clutches of government surveillance, targeted advertising, and other practices that IMO are an overall toxic influence on humanity. I don't practice what I preach at the moment but hopefully the loss of convenience is not too significant as I make the switch.
