My school has provided us some emails with a custom domain (not @gmail.com but @myschool.smth) and we as students are only able to login via gmail, however i obviously do not want that. What can i do to prevent that? I tried logging into the email via Thunderbird but i get blocked because my administrator doesn’t allow that.

      Just use gmail through the browser instead of installing stuff like the gmail app on your phone, and you can have it forward it to your email so you don’t need to open gmail to get school mail. You’ll probably just need to login for replies.

      And when it comes to work in the future hopefully you’ll be a provided with a work device. I wouldn’t use a work device for personal use even if it were running Linux, and wouldn’t install work related programs on personal devices. I just consider work devices and programs to be spying on me as default.
