As of today, I no longer have a Gmail account.
@Gaby that is actually impressive! I feel like I have been sucked in so much I wouldn’t even know how to quit 😆
@Gaby are you forwarding email from there or did you actually close the account?
If you closed the account, how did you handle any potential email that would be sent to it? Did you change the email address on any other relevant accounts or something else?
@mdrockwell about a month ago or so I went thru anything that was associated with that Gmail account and changed it to my .me account.
@Gaby cool. I wish there was a tool that could better facilitate that so it didn’t have to be so manual.
@mdrockwell i think that’s why it took me so long, I was doing it as I received emails from those specific places or as they came to mind, I’m sure I’ve missed a few but nothing super important
@Gaby that’s what kept me from transitioning to Fastmail for so long. But I ultimately decided to just forward my Gmail and transfer the existing messages.
I’d move accounts over to Fastmail and close Gmail, but I’m too worried that I’d end up missing something. And it would take me forever monitoring incoming messages before I felt comfortable actually doing so.
