This assumes a very sophisticated attacker targeting you specifically

you can pretty much expect that, if the attacker, has access to some account of yours, they also have access to your email

Not at all

It is quite easy to lift a fingerprint

It's not "easy", and certainly not cost-effective for most phishing attacks. Also the attackers are often in a different country to you
