i thought gmail needed some pre-existing email account. and i though that was the issue.
well if they use facebook, then facebook also has email.address is: *username*@facebook.com

if they already have android then gmail is the way to go. if they need encrypted email service then options are protonmail and hushmail. but their storage is limited.
