Outlook and Gmail have always been data collection tools, apart from being spam magnets
Weirdly enough, I have had less spam mail on my gmail account, than I have on the account of an e-mail provider from my country.
Anyway, Gmail is a no go. From Google TOS
As said, they read and analyze your mail, mainly to sell it to advertizing companies. Google make money with this.
In my country popular free email providers send many spam messages to users by themselves, so inbox looks much worse than in gmail.
