Any good guides on switching to a new primary email address without annoying friends & leaving room for annoying edge case issues later? Will also take general warnings & photos of bears

I don’t see anything wrong with just switching without even announcing it. Keep your old address running along side in your mail client whilst routinely replying from your new address.

Sent handwritten letters to all your contacts announcing the change in email similar to the announcement of the birth of a child

Should we also hold an in-person event? I could book a community center

Perhaps a silent email forwarding to your new address, then just respond as normal from your new address with an info signature explaining the change. OR Use this opportunity to start a new life.
