I use google shared calendars but not email, but I think in terms of email trackers using alternate clients helps. I use FairEmail on Android and Thunderbird (or BetterBird) on my computer.

I also use Firefox Relay for disposable email addresses, which can remove trackers from emails and stop you being tracked across sites. The downside is I can't start an email from an alias, only reply to one, so if I order something and put the email in then they only send me a confirmation from a donotreply email, I have no way to email them from the alias to find out why they haven't sent my order.

So for now I mostly use it for accounts and email lists and not for purchases.

For anon email I use OnionMail and fantasy name generator.

For stuff I want to keep, I add a myEmail+serviceName@gmail.com to see who is tracking / selling my details / getting hacked. I can easily block the service name that leaked my details.

The thing about that + trick, is it's very easy to strip from the email.

What I like about Firefox Relay is the browser extension that makes it easy to generate new ones and will remember which site you did it at. I also wanted an excuse to financially support mozilla.

But there are heaps of others, Proton, (who bought simplelogin), Anonaddy, duckduckgo operates a free one, etc.
