I access my (several) Gmail accounts with Apple Mail.app using IMAP. 
It works well for me and integrates with other Apple MacOS programs. 
What little spam I do get is already parked in the junk mailbox ready
for deletion.  

I hardly ever see ads at all; that's probably because of the ad-blocking
DNS function of my VPN provider, PIA.  I don't run ad-blockers in my 
web browsers either.
