Step 3: Stop using android unless it’s Graphene or something like it that’s de-googled. Because a lot of Google’s tracking is done through the play store.
The terminology is a bit confusing, so let’s clarify. What you really have is just one mailbox, not many. It acts as a catch-all mailbox for all mail sent to any addresses under your domain. You just need to set up folders and sorting rules to keep things tidy.
So let’s say you bought cool.tech and you made a single mailbox like inbox@cool.tech. Nobody sends mail there specifically, but that’s where it all goes because it’s a catch-all address. All the other addresses mail is sent to were never explicitly created, but they can receive anyway.
Instead, you get mail to addresses like ScammyAppName@cool.tech and iJustWantedToDownloadThisOneFile@cool.tech, etc. Anything sent to those addresses gets sorted into two separate folders within the only mailbox you’ll ever need. If you want the same email appear in two folders, you would need to make a copy of it.
Never needed to mess around with that, so I don’t have any advice.
As far as maps in general are concerned, I’m currently experimenting with OSM based maps. If you’re on iOS, you can easily get away from google by using apple maps. Not gonna get away from big tech that way, but still…
Step 2) Get a proper email where you aren’t the product.

I know this question pops up a thousand times but what email do you suggest? I’m trying proton right now.
Stick to Proton if you like it.

If you like, get your very own domain as well, and make infinite aliases.
You still can’t have an alias go to multiple mailboxes, though, right? Or even forward out of tuta?

I’ll give it a go.
Do you have any suggestions on a maps app that is compatible with android auto or is android auto another can of worms?
