Becaus having used an address personally and professionally for close to 20 years, I can’t really abandon it, and I honestly get way too much important stuff to only go I. There once a month or so. If I forward all emails to the new address, I get buried under the avalanche.

Why limit yourself to only either forwarding emails or to "check for important emails" once per month?

For example, email clients generally allow you to use multiple accounts at the same time. Configure your client to read emails from both accounts at the same time, and any time an important email arrives at the legacy account try to update the sender.

(I mean, I'm sure that xkcd.com/1172 applies, but still this seems like an odd thing to be blocked by.)

Becaus I don’t care enough, really. Email is something I use because one is expected to( not because one wants to.

IMHO, that sounds like more effort than configuring Emacs to map a CPU temperature rise to a Ctrl keypress.

I'd rather begrudgingly keep taking advantage of Google's spam filter over adopting the added workflow branch that is perceivably likely to trail me for another decade-plus.

Ha, I knew it was gonna be the workflow one!
