That sounds like a recipe for malware infection. Have you scanned your PC fully for malware ?

Doing the things you have stated here is not wise at all.

What third party websites are you talking about ? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ? dota2lounge?

Those are known for being home to scammers and phishers and seen many times here in posts from users that visited those sites.

Turning off that email confirmation will make sure you don't get any scammed items returned.

So you are saying that you cannot log into Steam to set your new gmail account as your Steam email account ?

Ok, well you said in your title that is was your "new" email so that is why I asked you that.

Have you checked all the folders like spam and such ? Made sure Steam is an exception for your email account so not to filter it out ?

That is ok, glad you at least are getting the messages. You can make exceptions for Steam in your email account and maybe you should look into that. Good luck to you always, and you may want to only trade on Steam will all protections in place, including email confirmation.
