How do I get my family to move off of Gmail?

I keep telling them that Google spies on you, but they don’t care because it is free and it works.

How reliable are these providers and what are the chances these providers emails would bounce or go to spam when sending an email?

If they don't care, why should you?

They found a deal that seems to be ok for them. To get them to change providers, you need to suggest one that would be a better value, and to be honest, I don't think you can find one.

I did it by moving to the Proton ecosystem: Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, and Proton Pass, with the added bonus of Proton VPN.

As much as I don't necessarily like it, I think we have to put a price on our privacy and personal data. And for me, paying for the Proton family plan seems like a good trade-off, at least for now. So far, I haven't got any emails to bounce when using the @pm.me or @proton.me email addresses, except once (I forgot which web site).

If they don't care there is no problem for them to solve. Stop sending mail to them and bounce mails from gmail.

Maybe because when normal people hear you say "Google spies on you" they think you are a crank. Perhaps try to reduce it to a statement that conveys valid information.
