I transitioned to a custom domain backed by iCloud some years ago but just kind of let the Gmail sit around because it a) functioned as a decent catch all for garbage and b) I was just too lazy to move over some less important accounts to the new email.
This is a good reminder to migrate the last of it over and let the gmail account atrophy.
Or just do like me, forward the mail and have a rule delete the mail after. I have my own domain, a Google (๐คฎ) account AND an empty Gmail-inbox ๐
Too lazy to find a good alternative but I'm still on free google apps for my domain.
This is the way.
