    They unfortunately hooked me with email, and changing my email for every one of my services and legal stuff is way harder than it should be.

    Most places dont even allow you to change your email without creating a brand new account

      Pro tip for when you do move: get your own domain. Plenty of mail hosts allow you to use your own domain, which you can just keep using at the next mail host, so you don’t have to update any accounts.

      Just forward your email to your new email. I did about 5 years ago. Now whenever I get an email that was still sent to my gmail I take a few minutes to change the email, but that’s becoming less and less.

      I’m in a similar situation with Yahoo Mail, sadly, but at least I was able to delete my Google account without much hassle.

      It can be done gradually. It’s a lot of work but you’re not powerless. While you’re at it convert to an alias service so every account gets a unique email. Use your own domain and you can move email providers. I know this is a lot but it’s possible and worth it.
