Before I close my google account, I need to visit any websites I registered with that address and change them. Is there a tool that can scan my email and give me a list of deduplicated domains and contacts?

Unfortunately I delete most email so I expect some surprises in the future but I have time for this now.

I deleted a Gmail adres I used through college, first I switched the emails of essential accounts like banking manually. Then I manually erased all histories and linked devices. Then follow the FAQ instructions to delete your account. Note it's only "deactivated" for 3 months untill login. Took me a solid 4 hours what was supposed to be lunch.
