Made the switch from gmail a couple month ago and didn't regret it. Only caveat is finding a good mobile client. At least on Android, the standard Gmail client is a lot less cumbersome than K9. So that might be a conversation to have to manage expectations.

If your family member is not a technical person and they’re ok with depending on you, having a dedicated domain can make switching providers painless.

The obvious caveat is that they become dependent on you, which can be terrible for several reasons even if you’re the nicest person on earth.

Ich bin jetzt seit einigen Jahren bei mailbox.org und rundum zufrieden.
Das ist so eine Einschalten-Geht Lösung.

Seinerzeit hatte ich auch noch parallel Posteo und Tutanota getestet, die sind aber damals mit eher schlechtem Support und Ahnungslosigkeit aufgefallen, insofern hatte ich die schnell wieder von der Liste gestrichen.

Simple and does not require any weird app for access. Plain and stupid IMAP access is provided (and a web interface)

Also it's hosted in Europe, they have their own data centers and a long history of email hosting.
