When I graduated university, they gave me, and others, graduate email addresses with the domain @institution.edu. The catch is, it's entirely based within Gmail, despite having a unique domain. I want to keep using this address, as it's tied heavily to my professional career, but I'm not sure how to decouple it from gmail ecosystem. Would using a client such as emClient be sufficient in breaking Google's monopoly?

If you are worried about it being gmail and the privacy implications, I would say privacy doesnt really exist in email anyways. Any email you receive probably bounced through either a gmail or exchange server on the way to you anyways.

When both sender and receiver uses encryption, it exists.
