Same here. Those shitty providers are a too high risk.

Many years ago Microsoft has banned my outlook account for no reason. I tried contacting the support to resolve the issue - nothing. Only after writing a letter, I received the answer from Microsoft Germany:

We banned your account because I was distributing porn through onedrive (which I was not doing). The investigation showed that Microsoft could not find any wrongdoing. The account was gone nevertheless.

This is why I say:

- skip Gmail/Outlook and all this crap, use something proper like mailbox.org with your own domain - dont trust cloud. Backup once a month, use two clouds at the same time, have a cold storage with your backups - biggest risk is your apple icloud account. dont be dependant on them: dont use their credit card - dont use google/ms 2fa apps - have multiple accounts in parallel: one for google drive, one for search, one for mail (if you need it), one for youtube, etc
