I’ve had my GMail account for what must be almost 20 years now, and it’s pretty ingrained in my life. My mortgage info comes via GMail, my bank statements come via GMail, my health insurance comes via GMail, etc.

Thinking about migrating honestly seems like an insurmountable task. I have no idea where to begin. How the hell do I go about untangling GMail services from my life.

I’ve potentially been looking to move to Proton for email, but any other suggestions (preferably European based) would be welcome.

    Proton’s easy switch will automatically import your emails on the new account. Then you can setup email forwarding to the proton address. I recommend getting a custom domain. Otherwise, if you again try to change the provider, you’ll have to go through the same hassle.

    I used to like Skiff a lot. But they were acquired by Notion all of a sudden. Then I had to change email of my every single online accounts. Had to go to the banks multiple times. Still haven’t managed access to some websites.
