I would really, really like a self-hosted solution where I can search my Gmail archive at the same time as my current email account. So I just have to search one place for “emails.”
It’s not a particularly nice way of doing things, but worst case: if you can add both your old and new accounts in, say, Thunderbird, you can literally drag your emails from your old mailbox and drop them into your new one.
A better option might be to see if whatever software/host you’re looking at supports gathering email using IMAP - that way it can migrate all your existing emails autonomously and periodically scrape your old mailbox for new ones.
