Just buy your own domain and run Gmail on it. Super easy to do, and if Google dicks with me too much I can move my mail somewhere else in minutes without changing my address

That'd require me to change my email address, when I've spent the last 10+ years training everyone to use my @gmail.

The best time to have setup your own domain for email was ten years ago. The second best time is today.

The question is not if you will move off of Gmail, but when, and would it not be better to be prepared and start the process when you're not under duress from a planned sunset?

Easy to set up to forward [e-mail] to [e-mail], and reply from the latter.
