"Gmail alternative"
Email. Just say email. It's email.
The word you are looking for is 'webmail'.
Sadly "Gmail" is what a lot of people know mail as. They're not even aware anything other than Gmail and outlook exists. I at least always have friends and family looking at me weird every time I tell them my mail is the name of my custom domain, some even think I'm joking with em 😅
It's a sad reality.
