I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

    That’s how aliases work. Pretty much all of the services listed here - https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/email/ - have them. You can have multiple email addresses, but yet they all go to the same inbox.

    As a strategy to minimize your effort in the migration, start by forwarding all your Gmail accounts to the corresponding inbox and/or alias. You can then start using the new service right away and take as long as you need to migrate your accounts across.

      Perfect, so there is a way to forward incoming emails right?

      I wasn’t thinking of aliases but using aliases as the address to forward to is pretty smart
