# Email
|
||||
|
||||
Changing email services is actually much easier than most people think.
|
||||
It's really only a few steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new account.
|
||||
2. Set up your old account to forward to the new account.
|
||||
3. Begin using your new account, exclusively using it to read and reply.
|
||||
4. Commit to only using the new account consistently.

## Recommended Mail Providers
|
||||
|
||||
This article from 2015 lists two of the same hosts that I'd recommend, showing that they've been around for a while and likely aren't going anywhere.

### Proton
|
||||
|
||||
A highly popular choice in today's world. When emailing other Proton users the messages are E2EE, meaning that even Proton cannot read the contents.
|
||||
|
||||
The service must be used from their website or app, they do not provide IMAP/SMTP to the general public. Their interface is actually pretty good though, and using it means less setup in the long run.
|
||||
|
||||
They also offer enterprise email hosting solutions if you have your own domain.
|
||||
If only set up for yourself it's actually quite affordable, starting around $60 USD in 2025.
|
||||
|
||||
Other than email, Proton offers a respectable VPN, a 2 factor authenticator (2FA), a password manager, and many other solutions that people tend to look for.

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
|
||||
2. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner and select "More Settings".
|
||||
3. In the left-hand menu, click on "Mailboxes".
|
||||
4. Under the "Mailbox list," select your primary Yahoo mailbox account.
|
||||
5. Scroll down to the "Forwarding" section and enter the email address where you want your messages to be forwarded.
|
||||
6. Click "Verify." Yahoo will send a verification email to the address you entered.
|
||||
7. Log in to the destination email account, open the verification email from Yahoo, and click the verification link to confirm ownership.
|
||||
8. Return to your Yahoo Mail settings, enable forwarding, select the verified address, and click "Save" to activate the feature.

`Android` is the only mobile environment covered here. `iOS` is complicit in data harvesting and cannot be liberated. Some may argue that it's secure, and that may be true, but it is most definitely not private.

# Offline Solutions
|

|
||||
There are also alternatives to consider that avoid using electronics completely!
|
||||
|
||||
## Pen & Paper
|
||||
|
||||
A small notepad and a set of good pens can cost under $5 USD.
|
||||
|
||||
Some may consider this wasteful, but at the end of the day, it saves:
|
||||
- time from the lack of distractions,
|
||||
- energy since it is easier to focus on, and
|
||||
- electricity since devices need power to run.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though your electronic may not waste any physical resources, it requires power to run, which needs to be fueled somehow.

# Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Making the jump to alternative technologies is not something which happens overnight.
|
||||
|
||||
Leaving large platforms such as Google's suite can take weeks if not months to completely migrate from.
|
||||
The important part is that progress is being made.
|
||||
Eventually it will happen in full if the commitment is taken seriously.
|
||||
|
||||
Then once it's over, you're done! Other privacy and security minded people will respect that you've taken the time to improve your tech stack while respecting their time and data.
