      When switching over to a paid mail service like this, do you start by forwarding all your your emails from google (or another service) and then slowly start migrating accounts to the new mail address?

      Or is there anything I might be missing?

      Mailbox looks interesting to me, and have really been wanting to ditch my gmail, it’s the last thing I have left under Google at the moment.

        You can definitely do that, but most people that use paid service providers for email usually own their own domain as well, so they will reconfigure their dns records from Google Works info to the new provider

        If you don’t have a domain and only want to get rid of gmail forwarding is the way to go

          If I happen to have a domain, but only have a free tier of gmail can I still do the DNS recognition you mentioned?
