If you watch the video I linked in Post #2, there's a section on importing Gmail history/content into Proton Mail. Other e-mail services may have the same feature.

Gmail is a very reliable e-mail service with good security - its authentication and recovery options are very good - but, as I'm sure you know, it's extremely not private. Gmail parses every e-mail you send or receive and sells that data to a multitude of companies (ostensibly for marketing) as well as itself correlating your e-mail content with any other data gathered on you.

If you want more privacy: ditch Gmail. If you want a very reliable e-mail service that won't be hacked, costs nothing and don't care at all about privacy: stick with Gmail. Of course, you can do both with multiple e-mail addresses.
