Move it to a custom domain and host it at Proton or Tuta. That way it's a pain once, and then you don't have to switch email addresses ever again.

Unless those companies get bought out down the road and trashed, and you need to move to a new one.

If you own your own domain, you just switch email providers and redirect your domain to them, and that's it. No changing accounts everywhere, telling friends to change, etc.
