That’s a great solution but still takes a bit to switch to initially. I’m just talking about the switchover, after that using an alias service or having your email on your own domain helps save a lot of pain later.

Yep. It takes a long time to go around updating all your sites. I’ve had lots of sites where I have to contact them to change my email address as you can’t do it yourself. Even instances where it just can’t be done so I’ve asked for account deletion instead. Still, never again now.

so mail forwarding?

Yes, but also no. When I reply to an email my mailbox address is not exposed. The email appears to have come from the alias.
