Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.
Generally you can do it from settings with automatic forwarding feature.

For the first point, Proton migration tool (from gmail) works flawlessly and doesn’t disclose your new address (plus it moves all your previous emails). I didn’t try similar tools for other vendors but I am sure they have similar options.
