Freeing your domain from Google Workspace
As you may now, Google is going to charge us $6 per user for using our personal domains from Google Workspace. Here is what I am doing to free myself up from Google workspace.
Note that I am happy to forward my emails out of my personal domain. If that is a hard requirement for you (to not forward email out of personal domain), this is not the page for you.
A few years ago, I stopped using my anands.net email using gmail. I logged into gmail settings and setup a forward rule to forward all emails to my personal gmail account.
I don’t remember what the trigger for doing this, but for a couple of us, this was where we started. This is not ideal, since I still use anands.net email address and the forwarding happens at the email client level (we will get to ideal state in the last step).
For my kids, they started using anands.net emails when they were too young to create their own gmail accounts, so they were using gmail.com but logging in using their anands.net logins.
