- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Gmail might have an autoforward thing
It does, but that still means Google has access to all my accounts related email until I move everything over. I suppose it's a good backstop though, thanks for the tip :-)
Setup a rule in Gmail, and then tag them when they get to your new inbox. Use Gmail to add a junk CC, or something if the new provider cannot do this.
Then use the tags to go back and change the email on file (if necessary).
After a year if they haven't contacted you then they obviously aren't that important.
