Same here, but I simply forwarded ALL incomming e-mail from my old Gmail to my new email address. That way, i did not have to change all website accounts at once.
So I slowly updated a lot of less important accounts/websites to my new email address over the period of 1+ year.
- ehsankia 6y agoThe incremental approach is always the better solution imo. For email, for password managers, for any big migration. People always put off saying it'd be a lot of work, but if you start at any given time, within 1-2 year you'll be fully migrated. This is what I did for password manager, I migrated each website on a per-use basis. Every time I used a website with a manual password, I replaced it with a generated password. This automatically prioritizes more important websites, which you tend to use more often. For email, similarly, you migrate to the new email, and you give people the new one gradually too. Eventually anything that's left over will be spam, and that'll actually be your "less-important" secondary address you can give to websites you don't care about.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoWhat is Google's policy on accounts set up to forward all mail re: scanning contents of forwarded messages?
- DavideNL 6y agoI don't think it really matters; Google has a track record of abusing privacy (regardless of what the policy is.)
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agos/policy/practice/ Published "privacy policies" seem to be a way of preserving opacity. It is nigh impossible, absent litigation discovery, to decipher what the company is actually doing.
