Me, who's had a Gmail account as my main email for twenty plus years. 😞

I've been meaning to switch off of Google for months now, but never had the time to properly research what exactly that entails

Curious what you decide. I feel trapped. My Gmail has been my primary account for almost 20 years. With that kind of longevity, switching would be extremely disruptive.

When I did it I just forwarded my mails to the new service (fastmail) and changed mail address whenever a mail got forwarded in. When I didn't receive a forwarded mail for a year or so I deleted my old mail and never looked back.

If you use a password manager this get easier though, since you can just lookup where the old mail is used.

Never realized this was a benefit of password managers. Even happier I've been on Bitwarden a few years now.
