>My parents are stuck on their ISP's email, I was stuck on GMail (but fighting to get out). Anyone I warn about Google's lockout horror stories think it won't happen to them because they're playing by the terms of service. I regale everyone I know with Google lockout horror stories in the vain hope that they will switch. No one ever does. I've spent the last year migrating services from my Gmail account to my personal domain, but it's a huge PITA, and I feel like I'm only 30% there. The only thing which keeps me going is the sinking feeling in my stomach I get when I imagine how fucked I would be if I lost access to my email address. It's still not turnkey enough to buy a domain and use an email provider. There are multiple gates to climb through and they are often technical in nature. Just trying to understand how a domain works, where to buy it, how to host it, and how to plug that into an email provider is beyond 95% of the public. There needs to be some better vertical integration, but as it stands, the best domain marketplaces and hosts are not the best email providers, and vice versa.
