Are there any good guides for switching from gmail to Tuta/Proton/Start/etc?

I am also interested, but my ancient gmail account annoyingly still gets lots of important stuff and I would be interested how easy or complicated is to redirect emails or exporting contacts for example.

edit: thanks for the suggestion! I will definetly switch now. Just need to decide between Proton and Tuta :D

set up filters in gmail with redirection to your tuta account; this way you can slowly forward important things while keeping less important stuff in gmail and clean up your inbox.

then just add new filters as needed.

This. Actually Proton tells you to do this if you want to get extra storage space on free account.

Instead of redirecting, just slowly switch over. Change account emails of services as they arrive to your inbox one at a time. Do some deep dives into email history from time to time to see if there is anything super rare that you'd truly miss. Don't close the account for at least a year (but really, just don't ever close the account).

Proton has a function where you can automatically redirect everything from a chosen Gmail address to your Proton address. After that you can slowly change all accounts to your new Proton address.

+1 on the do it slowly, I've also taken it as an opportunity to sort the emails coming in; unsubscribe what I no longer wish to receive and changing my adress on the (automated) emails i do want to get. Changing login credentials has been a bit of a hassle but I'm using a password managet which does make it a lot easier to 'remember' logins. The process is easier than I expected, but maybe because it's not taking much time each week. Almost all personal mail still goes to my old address, so still have to cross that bridge though.
