What if protonmail, gmail or whatever email provider you are using goes belly-up? Are all your accounts doomed?

If so, what are some preventive measures? Adding backup emails to your registered accounts?

    I use a free email service with my custom domain. If it went down I’d just switch to another. Down time would likely just be while DNS records proliferated.

      I think you meant “propagated”.

      How do you monitor your email functionality? How long would it be before you noticed it was offline? What about paying for and configuring the new email server?
