I wish there was something like cell phone number porting for email addresses. I don’t know how it would work on the technical side or how you could secure something like that, but the idea of switching email providers is too daunting, so I stay with Gmail despite abandoning all my other Google accounts and services.

Not as easy, but could do it in phases:

- set up new email address, hosted where you like

- https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en (forward your email)

- update your email address as many places as you can
