I own a .net domain but recently I was able to get the domain that I originally wanted to own. I wanted move over to the new domain for my email which was the only thing I was using my .net domain for.

I only had two email under that .net domain which is just for looking for work and my personal for “buying” games.

What are the ramifications of letting someone else own my domain in the future? (Mostly talking about email)

    The purchaser of that domain will be able to send and receive email from your addresses.

    Wait wait wait, DKIM doesn’t solve this???

      The owner of the domain owns DKIM. It offers no protection against that.

      The only actual protection would be PGP because it provides your key as an identity rather than the domain itself.
