I have a gmail account and I don't want to use a mobile number for recovery..

It offers the option to add an email account for recovery, but I don't want the recovery email address to be gmail, because gmail is horrible when it comes to logging in from other locations, from an account one doesn't use much.

It could lock me out and want to send me a text or something, or require another recovery email address.. Even when I have the password, that recovery email address might want to send an email to a recovery email address.. I can't have that.

I need a free email service that is reliable and doesn't have ridiculous security procedures that discriminate based on where in the UK I am logging in from or what device I log in from! . I've had situations where I log in from home then can't log in from a friend's laptop in a cafe 20 minutes away.

Thanks
