Never understood why anyone used Gmail, a service of Google that openly admits to spying on you and hoarding even your deleted emails indefinitely.

All my accounts are fake, used on a dedicated system segregated from the network.

If you're actually "logged Into your Gmail account" (and not actively viewing It), Google can track your online navigation. Always logout when not In use.

Not even. I'd avoid it altogether and use hotmail. Microsoft has always had a better track record than Google with respect to privacy. However, with the release of Windows 10 this reputation is becoming tainted.

Being anonymized without any Identifiable details, Is as good as It gets.

That aside, Microsoft deletes & recycles Inactive accounts, so be sure to periodically log In.

That's not as good as it gets. The logical conclusion of that is to have nothing to anonymize in the first place; not to have an e-mail account at all. When a service blatantly admits that they spy on you and keep your data forever, you should probably boycott them and use alternatives.

I have several accounts for several services. I didn't get on well with gmail initially. However, I was forced to have one during university and for linked services (youtube, google play store). Now, I don't mind it.
