This will hurt me in the first place. And probably nobody else. Let's get
real. Even if we all do this, this will hurt mostly us; as the number of
people who use "big players" mail will be still much, much larger than the
people who won't be accepting mail from "big players". People having their
mail on "big players" would be still perfectly able to communicate with each
other, so they would see no reason to move away from "big players". If they
won't be able to mail me, they will just try to convince me to set up an
account at one of the "big players", then "neither me nor them would have
any problems"... Or they will try to convince me just to use Facebook
Messenger or any other application of this type instead of e-mail...

And they will be in majority!
