I use mail forwarders on my custom domain so anything sent to [email protected] is simply forwarded to [email protected].

Except the domain renewal fees, it's free.

If Gmail blocks me, I can readdress the forwarding to hotmail or usa.net or whatever.

That works but to cover your bases you need some sort of regular IMAP backup as well.

I just use Thunderbird and tell it to keep everything local.
