I would rather invest 10 x 60 Eur = 600 Eur every 10 years into new laptop or bigger RAM rather then trying to switch to non-free email and lose whole Google ecosystem.

Not having much spam is number one priority for me. 50ms delay in refresh rate is OK. In fact I have never noticed and it have never came to my mind that Gmail is slow. Yes, it needs RAM but I was never annoyed by any "slowness".

Losing google ecosystem is a bonus for me and is the main reason I want to leave.

Google has been slowly sucking more and more each year and I have to spend mental energy figuring out how they are trying to screw me over or bill me for something.

It’s worth $50/year to not have that mental stress.
