This is why you should use your own email domain so you can just shuffle it around providers as needed.
For most providers, using your own domain is a paid feature.

I pay $5 a month for Google Apps, which is completely worth it for me since finding good, unclaimed short email addresses on Gmail is not possible.
If all you want is the email address, you can simply transfer your domain to Google Domains and use their free GMail integration. That'll save you $48/year assuming you don't value any of the other paid features in Google Apps.

#14I have no idea how I ended up getting signed up for this. I've long used Yahoo as pretty much a spam bucket when I have to give out an address to someone I don't care to get emails from. (For all I know, I somehow got signed up a while back but I certainly am not aware of doing it and it's not something I would normally have any reason to do.)

Where does it say that Google Domains has free GMail integration? All I'm seeing is G Suite integration for $5/month extra.

GMail Settings > Accounts and Import > Send Mail As > Add another email address you own.
I remember it taking a few tries to get all the Domains info right, but I can send and receive email from any of my Google-managed domains from within GMail. You can try Googling for updated instructions if these don't still work:
