I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌

I once had a Roundcube setup just to access gmail IMAP. It worked great and I did not have to get google tracking cookie.

well, you can still use k9mail or thunderbird with a gmail account so at least the client is foss

You're lucky with Gmail. Both my work and school uses Outlook and they ban IMAP, POP3, third-party apps (even those with OAuth2) and also forwarding to another address. So I have to keep another browser or an anonymous window open for one of them, as it takes WAY too long to switch accounts and I'm NOT downloading the official Outlook app.
