Reminder to set up automatic email forwarding of all your gmail to a secondary address. I recommend Protonmail. Also schedule Google Takeout to regular intervals.


If you are willing to take proactive action then don't settle for anything less than getting your email on your own domain.


If Google locks you out of the account, will emails still be forwarded?


Should be yes. The forwarding has nothing to do with identity/login


If they lock you out, then yes, but half of the stories are about disabling the account. I don't think the email forwarding would work then.


I’d be surprised if google actually disables anything on the backend even if the interface says disabled
