I only use Google as a secondary account now, though most of my family continues to use it (under a vanity domain, grandfathered in after lo these many years).

I only use Google as a secondary account now, though most of my family continues to use it (under a vanity domain, grandfathered in after lo these many years). I still keep my Google 2FA active, though. I use pobox.com to forward my primary domain. Right now I have mail forwarded to their "mailstore," which is essentially a lite version of Fastmail.com (Fastmail owns POBox, or the other way around, don't remember), but I can forward to multiple mailboxes. It costs $50 a year, just like Fastmail, but I think it's a little more flexible, at least for my needs.

>I only use Google as a secondary account now I've never had Google as a primary email account. I do have a few Gmail accounts, but that was to reserve them with my name, as opposed to ever giving the addresses out. >I use pobox.com to forward my primary domain Customer since 1996 and primary email address since 1999 because my college address closed at graduation. Since then my email has been hosted at ISPs, at various other providers, and at a Google Apps site, but it doesn't matter because the pobox address never changes. My college address works again, but I've long since used the pobox address in too many places to mass migrate away. Years ago, before it got "corporatized", Pobox's FAQs had one entry that went something like: Q: How do I know you'll be around in the future? A: How do we know you'll be? Ha, didn't think of that, did you?
