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 have. Ironically with an outlook account. Still works.

That means you've failed at privacy because they were able to link it to your identity, and now all your data is being sold to third parties
