      I have had mine for literal decades as well, and used it for so much stuff over the years it is hard to entirely ditch. However i have switched to proton some years ago as well and simply set up mail forwarding to my new account, in case anything important ever comes in over that gmail.

        You two are confusing me, are we not talking about Google ending free Google workspace? It sounds to me like you’re both talking about @gmail.com addresses. Why would you need to forward your email if you can just change your MX to point to proton? Also if you ended your Google workspace, you wouldn’t have anything to forward because it wouldn’t be handling your email…

        I’m lost.

        So Google is still reading a large part of your mail.

        I did the same thing except that I changed my email for the services I receive most mails from. After a few months, very little communication still flowed through my Gmail address.
