> Always bear in mind you're not writing mails to yourself. The other party writing mails with you, might not be that happy with third parties reading their mails. Privacy is not only about you

People mailing me after I'm dead because they don't know I'm dead, probably aren't very close to me. If a marketer decides to send me deep felt confessions he needs to get off his chest, meh.

Worth considering that they can use access to your email to get into other accounts. Someone getting into my Google photos account would definitely affect the privacy of others for instance.

Though I think the way to defend against this is dead man switches for services with sensitive data, not using gmail
