As of now, I use it but just as an autonomous mail service. That is - - -  I don't have the app on my computer and don't even use Outlook or any kind of message organizer. I don't do any alarm business on line so it's no inconvenience.

Today, not even Google knows who I am and I'm not on any of the social media groups or even Linkdin. My bank offers a service that makes it so I don't have to give anyone my real credit card number. So that end is pretty well covered too.

I've never looked for you.  Is that a challenge?  I hunted a guy once,
and the only reason I didn't get him is the FBI (one I) got him first.
They had more money and better resources.

I'm kidding.  I have no need to know where you are or even if Jim is
your real name.  Not about the other part.  The FBI really did get him
first.
