First, I still cannot find where I could see anyone's profile. But, important thing is, that you showed me how you set up your personal email. I may look into the doteasy.com to set up my personal email different than a gmail email. I don't mind paying $50/year for having some control of my emails (which Google and M$ do not give me).
Thank you.
