Switch from Google Workspace to Pidgeon. Undo for 30 days.

See it before anything moves. Tell Pidgeon your domain. It shows where your mail is, who hosts the domain, and every address you use: yours, your team’s and the shared ones. Leave out any you don’t want. Nothing changes until you approve.

Approve once. Paste a Cloudflare or Vercel token and Pidgeon makes the changes. Anywhere else, copy two settings into your domain’s DNS; each one ticks when it’s working.

Sending first. Pidgeon signs your mail as your domain before anything else moves, so it doesn’t land in spam.

Then your team, then your mail. Each person gets an invitation at the address they use today, and the address is theirs when they accept. Shared addresses become inboxes your team reads together. Then your domain’s mail moves to Pidgeon, usually within a few minutes. You can leave the screen.

Switch back. For 30 days after you switch, one press sends your domain’s mail back to Google. With a token, Pidgeon puts the old setting back; otherwise it shows you the one to paste.

Nothing at Google is touched. Your account, your old mail and your billing stay as they are. Your team can still sign in to Gmail and read everything.

A few senders may lag. For a short while after you switch, a few senders may still deliver to Gmail. You’ll find those messages there.

It stays in Gmail. Your old mail and labels stay in Gmail, readable as they are today, until you cancel Google. Bringing them into Pidgeon is coming next.

Switch first, then cancel. Cancel only once your team’s mail has been arriving at Pidgeon for a while and you’re sure. Switch back only works while Google is still there to switch back to.

Download what you keep. Cancelling deletes your users’ data at Google. Download your Gmail and Google Drive first: shared drives can’t be managed once the account is gone.

Check your billing. On a flexible plan, Google bills until you cancel. On an annual plan, the rest of the year is still due.
