3) Change all accounts that use your old email to your new email.
4) Once that's in place for a time and all accounts are moved over, you can turn off the forwarding. (Forwarding will forward everything - including spam)

I personally like outlook email. I've had a gmail account for the past 10-15 years, but I don't like the way they save all emails in a separate hidden ALL folder forever even if you delete from the inbox. I recently added an outlook email, and like the way the backend systems handle email.

You can still use your favorite front end to access any of standard email providers.
I agree. I would just add that most email apps will allow you to have multiple email accounts listed in the accounts section of the app.
