>I was using a @gmail.com address. Bad mistake on my part. So actually tracking what I used the address with, that was my real pain.

This is thankfully mostly solved now by AI. I recently had a do a migration that I had been putting off for years and it was relatively painless.

How did you solve this with AI?

They said “mostly”. AI solves 90% and then you solve the other 90%.

Lol. On almost every post someone comes in to say that $problem was easily solved by AI. Usually out of the whole context of the thread.

Snake oil level comments.

I had it read all of the emails find which accounts were associated with the old email and then go switch them to the new email. I only had to manually intervene for 2 accounts out of 36ish.
