The move came after 404 Media published an investigation into how Proton CEO Andy Yen was aggressively pushing AI across Proton despite security concerns and the culture of fear he has created.
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.
i started by switching accounts mailadresses for all regular services ( also switched to duckduckgo mail forwarding and set the mailbox.org address there for normal Website accounts).
Then i just included mailbox.org account in my Thunderbird Konfiguration and with this just drag and dropped the Mails Form Gmail to Mailbox folder. Only downside to this is that those Mails would not become encrypted in mailbox Servers in contrast to normally received Mails. i would advise against mass forwarding old mails, because it would make mail search much harder as they would get tagged with the new receiving date instead of the original one (this is hard for yearly tax return notices if you are looking for orders and receipts received by mail in a particular year), same with the Sender (now your old mailadress instead oft original).
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?
