Not an "easy" way, but what I've been doing is simply whenever I handle an email in the account I want to switch from, I use that particular situation to change the email in the settings of the account of whatever I'm handling in that moment.
That way it doesn't become an overwhelming task, and if you are consistent with it and do it each time you handle an email, slowly but surely you will have switched completely.
Proton is probably the slickest, most feature-rich and solid email service. They have a suite... Mail, VPN, Calendar, etc. I pay like $50 yearly for it, which gives a lot of extra settings. But even in the free account there is a "convert from Gmail" option that downloads all of your Gmail emails into your proton account. It's the easiest way to degoogle. Plus, all proton-to-proton email is automatically PGP encrypted, even if you use custom domains. You can easily setup auto PGP for other external services that offer it too, so emails are seamlessly encrypted between them.

Be careful, their subscriptions extend automatically and there has been weird behavior regarding billing. Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/dxgi15/issues_with_proton_billingcaution/
Yeah generally subscriptions extend automatically unless you cancel. They're subscriptions. I don't know about the first part, it sounds like a bug. They may be shady on the business end in certain circumstance (not sure why they would be, they're a successful company with a lot to lose), but I've set 6 clients up with them over 2 years and haven't had any issues with billing or cancellation. The person also did a chargeback after not contacting support and waiting, which if you're on the business end of things you know is a big fucking no-no. You get enough charge backs in a period and your bank will shut your account down. PayPal is even worse, they'll hold ALL your money ransom and many times not give it back and there's no recourse. Many customers don't realize this as they've never had to deal with anything business related. I can tell you that's why Proton was so adamant about them undoing the chargeback before any refund. I don't know about them not refunding the entire amount although I wonder if that's related to the first issue where it wasn't showing it as paid, so in their system it showed the full amount not-owed as being refunded.
