E-mail should be the first thing you migrate, precisely because it is the key to every other service you rely on. If you're randomly banned from your E-mail service, you're pretty much screwed. E-mail is too important to let someone else host. Move it as close to your own control as your technical ability allows. Do it today, in fact, do it right now.
+1! Getting your own domain name is not hard, you can still use GMail with it for now, and switch to something else if there's a problem with it. Plus xyz@yourowndomain.com is way cooler than xyz@gmail.com.
