I’ve recently been working to minimize my email clutter, my dependance on certain email providers, and to consolidate services under certain accounts.
I’m down to the following uses:
Apple ID, mydomain-billing/subscriptions, mydomain-official/legal, anon, friends/family, business domain.
I also have a handful of aliases and an account just for newsletters and my RSS app.
I’m curious if others have several email addresses for similar uses or if you use your email client to categorize incoming messages for you. For people who only have one email address, how do you manage this?
You must log in or register to comment.
i use a different address for almost every destination, all aliasing from a main domain. in this way i can track who sells my info.
Pretty much why I’m glad I switched to Proton. They came out with Proton Pass, which includes aliasing, and I haven’t looked back. So far, I haven’t had any leak. However, I have come up against one, some shop service used by some companies, such as Vessi and CrunchLab. It uses the email address you put in with the first company you bought from. Kind of annoying but not deal breaking.
I have multiple domains and backup addresses on ProtonMail, so technically I have infinite addresses :P
I split mails domains at the identity level, and addresses (under my custom domains, for proton I use their simplelogin integration) are split between services, even though I use my main one in most places still.

Three:
- Professional: first.last@domain.com
- Register for bullshit e-mail: herpaderp@domain.com
- The 16 year old me e-mail with a 69 in it that i still inexplicably use occassionally.
…nice.
Two.
One “official” with my name attached to it and one “trash” for places I don’t want to give any real data to.
I only have one email address from ProtonMail but I make extensive use of their “Additional Addresses” feature and I use ProtonPass email aliases. There are only a few sites which know my real email address (around 15 I think).
Edit: technically I also have a Gmail address but I’m trying to get rid of that since it has my deadname in it.
Non-gender specific Bruh, what you mean try? Just do it!
Meaning I’m in the process of doing it and almost finished.
Right on!
3 mailboxes
- Work
- Personal (general use)
- Personal (Important personal stuff)
That last email is for things I don’t want to risk reading in public. It’s the one I give to my doctor, financial advisor, insurance, tax authority, etc.
Work, gmail with a regrettable name i picked in my teens and can’t be bothered to migrate away from. Other gmail that I only have on my phone. Work mail, personal mai with firstname@uniquesurname
I use two actively but technically I have a gmail adress but only use it to log in to YouTube with it. If you sent me an email there I will probably never see it.
I have a “professional” email with my real name and one with my “online” name. They used to both be on gmail but now they are on Protonmail.
I also have some domain names I own which I can set up with Protonmail as the provider… Kinda tempted to move everything over to my domain so that I can switch providers if I need to without having to update things.
too many
3 real adresses: personal, professional, school assigned. Countless aliasses
One per site.
You mean temp mail?
What do you mean?
I have a wildcard rule set up to catch things sent to addresses on my domain that I don’t have explicitly configured… so technically, I have infinite email addresses.
One real (actively used) email address on Proton Mail, 300 aliases on SimpleLogin and addy.io
I daily use 4, plus some temporary
