I've used Yahoo for the last 15 years or so and I never really thought of switching. But all of the changes they're making to the email and front page are really awful. I've been waiting to see if they improve it at all but it doesn't look like it's happening. So I think I'm ready to shift everything to my Gmail account. I only have it because of Android and I've never used the email for anything else.
My concerns are that I'll have to keep checking Yahoo anyway since I won't remember to tell everyone who ever emails me that I switched, and that I have my Yahoo email associated with all of my online accounts for everything. I'm hoping the first issue can be resolved by forwarding email to my Gmail but I honestly don't trust the functionality of Yahoo at this point to not fuck it up. The second issue will be a pain in the ass but I can eventually change everything to Yahoo as I think of them.
Has anyone made a switch, have any advice, tricks, etc.? I keep thinking this isn't a big deal until I go through the list of everything associated with Yahoo. It's like most of my life is connected to this email address and I'm sure I'm going to forget a few things.
