Switching email providers isn’t just about flicking a switch — it’s about timing, planning, and minimising disruption. In this episode, Charly breaks down the order of operations you must follow when changing email platforms, whether you’re moving to Zoho Mail, Google Workspace, or elsewhere.

📌 You’ll learn:

✅ When to migrate mailboxes

✅ When to update DNS records and point MX to the new provider

✅ How to minimise downtime or lost emails

✅ Why cutover timing matters for user experience

✅ What you must communicate to your team or clients ahead of time

Get the migration right the first time and avoid the stress of lost messages and broken systems.
