Extremely, extremely annoyed that Android app purchases will be lost.
Since I also have Apple devices I'm considering moving over to iCloud+ since they now support 3 email boxes and 5 domain names per account: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212514
Other options I'm researching include Outlook Premium and Zohomail. Will be watching the comment section for other alternatives.
For those not trying to host their own, you might want to look at Migadu[1]. I have quite a lot of domains still running on the legacy GSuite, and a few others on the paid workspace, and the remaining on Migadu (not relations but a happy customer). 1. https://www.migadu.com
I really like how they present themselves - with Pros/Cons link in main top nav - with first link being to the drawbacks. "No bulk messaging You cannot use Migadu to send mails fast. These attempts are monitored and will be quickly sanctioned. We do not approve of or accept bulk mailing, even if it is not spam. Please use dedicated services for that." I wonder if CC'ing or BCC'ing a list of 100 or 1,000 people every…
I have one simple rule. Never rely on Google for anything . Not email, not cloud storage, not infrastructure, *anything*. If you're going to use one of their products, cost-in the expense of moving everything out at a moments notice and keep constant backups of your data. My advice to anyone is to just avoid using Google for anything you expect to use long term.
Unsure if this is true or not as I haven’t received anything as of yet. Finally, actual motivation to get off google. Probably will go to Outlook premium for my own domain’s email.
Yeah thinking the same. Microsoft 365 most likely the best switch for me. With 2 users and my custom domain, for cheaper might as well get 1TB cloud storage and Office as well. iCloud+ may also be an option.

Email is increasingly difficult to do yourself with the proliferation of anti-spam and anti-malware protection, combined with consolidated usage of SaaS apps for email across the board. Most of the IP address space in AWS and Azure is blacklisted by spam filters (as is customer IP space from most ISPs if they don’t already filter SMTP traffic), so unless you want to roll the dice on config settings for everyone you s…
You can set up an email server to receive mail typically (assuming your ISP doesn't block it). For outbound mail, you can create a dedicated regular gmail address, and instruct it to accept sending emails out with an alternate email/domain in the From address and set up all outbound mail to route through that. (I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like all the pieces are there under the "send mail as" setting on gm…
I created a free account many years ago for my family. We've all been using it ever since for everything. So I have a lot of purchases and history in there. All of my YouTube stuff, all of my Android purchases. Everything to do with Google. And now they're going to start charging me $70 per family member or delete all of their purchases for the last decade or so. To say I'm aghast is putting it mildly.

Really? I just looked at Microsoft 365 pricing, and it comes with Outlook Premium. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-a-personalize...
> To continue using a personalized email address and custom domains with Outlook.com, you will need to subscribe to Microsoft 365. Learn more about Premium features in Outlook.com for Microsoft 365 subscribers.

Which causes a price increase.
I'm a G Suite legacy user that is affected by this change, primarily using it for personal email. Extremely, extremely annoyed that Android app purchases will be lost.

I swear that we woke up 20 years in the future and that Google and Microsoft traded places.
Google really needs to figure out their customer support. I've always been hesitant to commit because I've feared I'd not be able to get support if I ran into an issue.
