> a free service like Gmail or Outlook

Do remember that for "a free service" that you are not the customer, you become the product to be sold to advertisers in that situation.

You also become subject to the whims of "the free service". Should they decide to "alter the terms of the deal" you have only the options of "pray they do not alter them further" or "leave". And as to whether you can extract your data so you can "leave" intact, well, that is one of those deal terms where they set the rules, not you.

This is why I’m thinking of using my domain and aliases. However if I use google workspace you get restrictions, however for now, these restrictions don’t apply to me as I’m mostly Apple not google, I just like the google UX.
