Hey everyone, can you please help me what to do- I don't have and don't use anything from Google. Now for school I am asked to provide Gmail. Is there way out ? What else, maybe some other email provider is compatible with school emailing system, because now teacher must use her personal email to email me and she is not happy at all...

Do you think library PC would be considered trusted environment?

absolutely not. but you're only going to use the created account for your school things, no?

your teacher is also going to access their acc through the school network anyway, so there's no further breach that can occur from the school network being pwned.

edit: if you mean trusted by google it may be. at least was the case for me
