It took me over a year to extricate myself from Gmail, and I still keep the account open and forwarding because it hasn't been a year since the last time I found something I have to migrate. I'll be thrilled someday if I can drop it, but I imagine the vestigal leftover will just persist for all time. Gmail was a very convenient service, but ultimately I can't trust them to use reasonable human judgement in administrative decisions, and so I can't trust Google with the keys to my life.
