Unfortunately, I don't know yet how_turning off_ scanning is possible.
o Do you?
REAL SIMPLE solution. Do NOT use G-Mail or ANY other FREE e-mail
service.
Unfortunately, I don't know yet how _turning off_ scanning is possible.
o Do you?
There is a problem - and there is a solution.
o If we say "don't use Gmail" then we need an alternative mail service.
What's the most viable alternative email service that people know of?
Doesn't meen youhave to "sell your soul" to Google to get e-mail.
Same reason I will NEVER use Chrome as a browser.
Not a big fan of
Android either for the same reason.
When you use ANY Google service or
product, you are putting everything you do on view to Google - who
will sell you to the highest (or any) bidder.
ANyone whoknows anything about Google knew that 5 years or more ago.
Nothing -= as I don't USE Google
Best? Your own private email server - locked down like Fort Knox.
Acceptable? What does your ISP use? Yahoo and MegaMailServers are two relatively reputable services contracted by many ISPs.
Others have
their own in-house mail servers - like TechSavvy . Axigen is
another.. If you want to "dance with a different devil" - one that is somewhat more benign than google, youcan use outlook.com (formerly
Windows Live Mail and Hotmail) or Mail.com, or even ProtonMail or
Tutanota (which are fully encrypted, apparently) or Yandex? or ZOHO?
or GMX, or even AOL Mail?
There are other (paid) services like
AuthSMTP, and FastMail. AppRiver is another excellent paid service
with many security options. With many ov these you will need to
register a domain which is a separate expense (about $10 a year, +/-)
4. Is there an automated way to locally intercept & reattach receiptsNot if they come to you through Google. Do you understand how e-mail
works? Things like SMTP. MAPI, IMAP, POP, and all that complex stuff?
Do you know the difference between a mailserver and an e-mail client?
You can use Mail2Web.com as your webmail if your ISP does not provide
an interface like Horde or Roundcube or SquirrelMail (most do)
What's the most viable alternative email service that people know of?
For any online ordering and personal communications I use my own
mail server.

I use Hillary's. More secure, no one can see what is on it.

If you have data to share to improve the quick summary above, or, if you
know of _other_ free gmail service replacements, please let us know as
Usenet is a potluck where everyone is expected to bring something of value
to share.
Yandex:
o Unknown storage limit
o Requires only first name & surname
o Informs you in real time whether the username is taken or available
o Requires a strong password of undetermined characters (at least 8)
o Asks for telephone number but lets you skip in favor of security question
o Allows you to write your own custom security question & custom answer
o Requires a simple Captcha-like typing of screenshot words

Russian collusion! The Russians are coming! Oddly I'm at the point where
I trust the Russians more than our homegrown Stasi. I've been using
Kaspersky on my Windows boxes for a long time. If it's stealing my data
at least it doesn't let other people grab it.

The Russian guy who wrote the EBookDroid app provides excellent customer service for an absolute pittance. We asked him how we could pay more (apparently paypal doesn't work in Russia), but he said just buy the
'pro' app. He also speaks (or at least writes) excellent English, such
that I wonder if he's just pretending to be Russian.
I think a lot of the Russian hype is a smokescreen. A lot of the
really evil stuff comes from a small middle eastern country Trump
seems to love.
Saudi Arabia? A lot of US presidents have seemed to love them which is surprising given just how horrible they are. Not exactly a role-model.

oil purchase agreement and sold them our latest aircraft <boggle>

Not love them so much as realise that they arent as bad as some of the
others in the middle east.
Same with Jordan.

If a Soviet-style "and you are still lynching Negroes" is the rebuttal
you're going to roll with I think we're done here, lol.
