Can Google One prevent losing Gmail account?


I have read many stories about people losing access to their GMail account. Using 'Free Tier' there is no support provided. What would be a smart move?

Personally, I have my own server running mail-in-a-box ... but that does require some tech know-how.

If you don't have a tech background, I select a provider that: #1 charges a fee (so it's worth them keeping you around), and #2 has a phone number that connects to a human (so you can talk to support, if there are problems).

Use a different and more responsive email provider, a provider that provides human contacts!
