Buy [yourname].com on Gandi. Comes with two 2GB mailboxes or 50GB for something like $1/mo. Forward your GMail to your new address.
Then stop entering your old email address anywhere. If you notice yourself typing your old address, migrate the account to the new one. Eventually all the accounts that you care about will be moved over.
- Leace 8y agoI agree with that strategy. I was using @gmail.com since 2007 and just setting up new e-mail on new domain and using it was enough to reduce old @gmail.com traffic to max 1 new e-mail per week.
- bklaasen 8y agoSecond the choice to use Gandi.net. 3Gb included with your domain. Their spam filter isn't as good as Fastmail's, which isn't as good as Gmail's. I'm back to training my mail clients' Bayesian spam filters like it's 2006. I also set up an autoresponder on Gmail with the following message: Hi - I'm moving off Google Mail to a privacy-respecting provider. Please update your address book to change my address to <me@mydomain>. Thank you! regards Ben Mailing lists dump that response into /dev/null and my human correspondents quickly and quietly complied.
