You can setup a rule in Gmail, and tag them when they get to your new inbox. Use Gmail to add a junk CC, or something if the new provider doesn't have strong automation capabilities.

Then use the tags to go back and change the email on file (if necessary).

After a year if they haven't contacted you then they obviously aren't that important.

I found a lot of emails but I didn't find a lot of emails I cared about enough to update when I did this.

    This is a great idea.

    I'm using Thunderbird with IMAP to my own email server for my new email, but I can totally see something like that working to make the transition work. Thanks!
