> Also I have many contacts mailing me on my Gmail address. Making all those people use another address would be hard. What i did is, i automatically forwarded all incoming Gmail emails to my new new@domain.com address. Then when someone sends me an e-mail to my old Gmail account, i simply reply to it from my new new@domain.com. That way contacts will gradually/eventually update me in their contact lists... it worked really well. > I have hundreds of website accounts, all registered through Gmail. I don't even know all the websites I have accounts on. It doesn't matter, just keep using them and register all new accounts with your new e-mail address. You can slowly update your email address in old accounts over time, Gmail will stay accessible anyway.
