Hey everyone, can you please help me what to do- I don’t have and don’t use anything from Google. Now for school I am asked to provide Gmail. Is there way out ? What else, maybe some other email provider is compatible with school emailing system, because now teacher must use her personal email to email me and she is not happy at all…
I found this article. I will try to create Gmail account in library, because through my Tor browser with VPN is asking phone nr. https://itsourcecode.com/blogs/how-to-create-a-gmail-account-without-a-phone-number/
You could use SMSPool.
Why does your school not have their own in house email for students?
Perhaps you could direct your teacher to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail#Criticism. This is just laziness and stupidity on the part of the school, IMNSHO.
EDIT: Although, to be fair, the school is probably getting this from Google for free—that’s how they getcha.
Participants, what is I use Googlemail@proton.me ? Hahahahahha I was trying to find a solution which looks like Gmail to pass them😅 anyway, I will be talking with teacher in next days and I will ask about why they need my Gmail only. And I will say that I don’t even have one. Maybe it will be enough to tell that all necessary info I will get during physical meetings and there is no reason to email me.
Thanks, I hate it 🤣
Just get one. If you only use it for school, and the school mandates it, Google is going to know where you’re going to school and nothing more. The school has chosen to share that information with them. There’s nothing you can do about that.
Just make sure you only use it from a non-gmail client. And zip and password protect any files you send if you can.
To get Gmail I need phone nr. If I put phone nr,it’s connected Gmail with phone nr. I don’t want G know anything about me.
I’m not sure what phone NR is.
If you get Gmail, you can install Thunderbird on your phone, and connect to it like that. All Google would know is that you’re connecting to that email from that IP. And if you’re concerned about that, maybe get a VPN.
Phone No. Phone Nr is used as shortening in Europe.
The way to solve the problem you have is to maintain a receptacle specifically for untrusted interactions. You might try to minimize them but they will eventually become unavoidable like now.
Back in the day before email it was called a blind box and you’d rent it at the post office.
In your situation you’d just keep a second phone/number.
It costs more money, there isn’t a free alternative or do it yourself method.
What school is this? This isn’t like the Hollywood Upstairs Medical Academy is it?
You can create a junk gmail account which forwards school emails to another email account. Since school is fully Google they already have those emails. Or wonder why they are fully submitted to Google.
Is it possible to make Gmail account without phone nr verification? If yes, I could do it.
And junk Gmail is it regular account used only for school or some kind of other type of Gmail?
until this day, you can register your own email for youtube. it might work as a google login later on.
AFAIK Proton permits to redirect mails from Gmail and others to Proton Mail.
