#email-migration

Mission accomplished. From the State Chancellery and ministries to the judiciary, police, and other state authorities, our roughly 30,000 employees have embarked on a new path together. We want to become independent of large tech corporations and ensure digital sovereignty. Now we can also say: mission accomplished when it comes to email communication.

Over the past three years, I've changed email providers three times without ever changing email addresses. That's because my address is entirely under my control. Instead of relying on an email that ends in gmail.com, yahoo.com, or the link, I can send and receive mail from my @jarednewman.com domain, which I can transfer between email providers at any time. This is called using a custom domain for email, and it's one of the most liberating tech things I've ever done.
