Sorry Rainer - but this is not a "good advice" 
Many users - including me - don't "like" a gmail address - for reasons..
Millions of Apple Users around the globe rely on their icloud.com (mac.com) address- as they served them well for 20+ years ..
So maybe you try to fix the problem on the "mikado-side"?

Hi Ian (and co-readers),
a little anecdote from my side (I'm trying to avoid the big G's services also, the one data kraken I know is enough for me
):
With .me com (iCloud.com), at one point, I didn't receive e-mail any more. Not on my computer, phone, iCloud.com in a browser, nowhere.
Experimenting, I found that if I set up a rule in iCloud.com in the browser, to directly move e-mail from mikado-heli.de and vstabi.info to a separate folder, it worked.
So somehow case proven, Apple seemed to filter that e-mail directly into digital nirvana unless it was told not-to. Some artificial intelligence (debatable ...) or whatever.
Every so often I disabled that rule to see if it was still necessary, and at one point, I started to receive e-mail again without it. Yeehaw!
As of lately, it's mixed experience again, sometimes it works, sometimes those mails get filtered into Spam/Junk, but they are still there.
We noticed similar behavior with i.a. Microsoft based services, outlook.com, hotmail, live and others, this is why the notification is there, because with those, we can not guarantee that you receive our e-mail, and why we suggest trying a different e-mail-address.
In Germany, there are a couple of e-mail service providers who, for a small fee, like one EUR a month, offer independent no-nonsense e-mail accounts, and without ads on their web interface, and with all the bells and whistles, also when it comes to current security protocols etc.
I guess—I hope—that there are such service providers in other countries, too, and those are what I would recommend if you wouldn't want to be with one of the big companies, or if you wouldn't want to not-be-able-to find the login button because of all the ads and other nonsense.
This is where I have a non-public e-mail-address which is required for 2FA for iCloud, for example, and which—if ever used directly—has a catch-all forwarding to my day-to-day-iCloud address.
It's not that we want you to move to gmail or other providers, it's just that we know that some seem to be filtering randomly, haphazardly, and that 'vital' e-mail like confirmation e-mails for downloads. It's also fine if you want to stay with hotmail, also having the same address for 20 years is something, it's just that with some providers we can not guarantee delivery :-/ even though all technical requirements are met (and checked and if necessary updated every so often).
