[Don Raikes]

So if gmail is not a viable option what are others using instead?

I wasn't able to do so without a huge amount of inconvenience.  Here's the rest of that story too.  I went as far as enabling two-step authentication in February of 2018.  Last week I tried logging into my google account.  My password was complex and 20 characters in length the last time I logged into that account successfully.  Last week the password had been changed and whoever did that had it shortened to 14 characters.  I ended up deleting my account.  If I ever create another google account I will not use any of google's enhanced security features since all of them only provide the authorized users a huge amount of hassle and are trivial for hackers to crack.
