I have literally everything tied to gmail, no idea how to escape
I went through my stored logins to migrate the vast majority of my accounts one by one (and deleted quite a few old and forgotten ones in the process). Took a couple of hours, but went mostly well.
For everything that I might have missed, I have gmail set up to forward everything to my new address. The new address (I went with posteo myself) has a filter that automatically moves stuff addressed to gmail to a separate folder. Whenever something ends up in there, I go and migrate or delete the account.
