I transitioned to a custom domain backed by iCloud some years ago but just kind of let the Gmail sit around because it a) functioned as a decent catch all for garbage and b) I was just too lazy to move over some less important accounts to the new email.
This is a good reminder to migrate the last of it over and let the gmail account atrophy.
Do they let someone else sign up for the address if you delete it? This is honestly the only reason I haven’t deleted my Gmail accounts. Barely get anything but old spam there now.

But don’t delete it. The address can be hijacked.

I would actually prefer to move off all the important stuff and let it otherwise fill with garbage.
Or just do like me, forward the mail and have a rule delete the mail after. I have my own domain, a Google (🤮) account AND an empty Gmail-inbox 🙏
This is the way.
Too lazy to find a good alternative but I’m still on free google apps for my domain.
