struggling to find a genuinely free option here. i'm after a free email domain e.g. gmail.com, outlook.com, that supports imap.

the reason is because i currently have gmail, yahoo, hotmail, and not outlook email logins for my personal stuff, and i want to merge them down to one login i can use for all. the accounts I use (microsoft/xbox, google/android) all allow any domain email to login to the same account, e.g. i use my [email protected] email to login to my gmail account, however the main issue i have is that microsoft are so freaking stupid in how they word things, and i have created a new good outlook email, and because i created this at the wrong stage, i can't merge this with my existing hotmail account, so now i could use the outlook for all my logins from now on, just not my microsoft/xbox login, which is no good. i asked ms to delete the new outlook and then free it up, but even when they delete accounts they never release the email. i can't remove the hotmail email from the ms/xbox account and then bring in the outlook email. nothing it seems.

so i'm after another domain to use. i tried protonmail but this requires payment for imap. i tried mail.com, same issue.

very worst case i could create yet another outlook or gmail email and that'd solve my problem, however naturally every single decent email login is gone, and the one i want matches something i've used. idon't really fancy having something like b.p.smith99x@gmail, especially as i was lucky to find outlook had the email i wanted, i just created the email addres one moment before i should have

any suggestions?
