     My Gmail is unusable. It's all marketing emails, donation asks, and possible scams. It's necessary to log in to endless accounts that I've built up over decades, but that's exactly the problem, every service I've ever signed up for wants to send me automated emails.

     I kind of just want to delete it, but I'd lose access to most of my online life, and if I ever order anything online again, the process will just start over again.

     If I ignore it, I might miss a crucial #email alert.

     What to do?
