I've been meaning to switch off of Google for months now, but never had the time to properly research what exactly that entails

[–] silentknyght@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Curious what you decide. I feel trapped. My Gmail has been my primary account for almost 20 years. With that kind of longevity, switching would be extremely disruptive.

I kept Gmail, but gradually switched over to proton. Eventually, year or two later, it's full of emails I don't glcare about. Start now and take it slow.

I've heard good things about proton. Considering switching to that as well. Other than heading so many places use your old email until you update it is there any reason you did it gradually?

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

No, that's the only reason. I didn't want to flood my new inbox with emails I don't need.
