  Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don’t have to change any accounts.

  Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

  I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I’ll finally do it now.

    This is the route I took, and at 10 dollars per year or so to maintain a domain, this is a very cheap way to remove some of the hold big tech has over our lives.

  You can have Google forward your emails while you move over your accounts

  Btw (sort of just thinking out loud) could paying for an email domain be a solution? I see many webhosts offering email + domain packages for like 1-3 GBP/month, and we could just download the emails into, say, Thunderbird, so if a company turns shit, we still have the domain and all the emails received/sent over the years.

    Ive actually been thinking about doing something like this. Im tired of being forced to rely on some company’s computer

    Good luck getting people to pay for their own email setups let alone learn what it takes to host themselves and move said hosted setup around as the hosting service ceo’s flip scripts.

    Totally doable, but also risky and convoluted as hell.
