I feel signing up for a new paid/self-hosted email becomes tricky when a person has used an email for most of his life. All the online-services, grad school, office-alum, etc. use the old email. And now when you switch to a new one then it becomes hard I feel. Any suggestions?
- chipgap98 5y agoI've set up forwarding from the old email to the new one and am slowly pointing everything towards the new email.

- macinjosh 5y agoI forward my gmail and iCloud accounts to my Fastmail account where my own domain is setup. I also only use my new email address and replace the gmail and iCloud whenever I see it in use. It’s a long process but worth it.

- btrettel 5y ago> I've not found an online service you can't switch emails with. I've probably switched email addresses on 200+ websites now, and there were a handful that don't seem to allow switching email addresses back when I made the switch. The situation could have improved since then, but you're basically right, very few don't allow one to change their email address.
