My school has provided us some emails with a custom domain (not @gmail.com but @myschool.smth) and we as students are only able to login via gmail, however i obviously do not want that. What can i do to prevent that? I tried logging into the email via Thunderbird but i get blocked because my administrator doesn't allow that.

I would recommend in this situation:

Use Firefox or similar browser that has the ability to create container tabs

And open your school email in a dedicated school gmail container tab.

Then limit the container to just the dedicated sites. At least you won't leak your browsing to google any more than you have to.

This add-on is needed to do some extra features with containers on firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/
