Also, do you use disposable emails? What for?

I have a lot of emails made with simple login and I use the same one only for three websites. Then I get all emails forwarded to the same email, and an email for personal use (family, work, friends…) also forwarded to that one. So something like this:

o  o  o     o  personal
 \ | /    /
   |    /
   |  /
   o

    I have three different email addresses I use for various purposes. My email client supports multiple accounts, so I just do it that way.

    Yeah I use them for dumb things like signing up for games or other websites I don’t really trust. If they get breached or sell my data there’s less on the line

    I use Mailinator for most throw away emails. I still use my old Gmail for tax stuff, things related to bills and whatnot. My personal email is hosted on Posteo. My conversations with friends are the only thing I feel need to be kept from the 5 eyes.

    Protonmail for personal, danwin for blogging and Outlook (ew) for school.

      The grip M$ has on schools is so annoying. Everything we do is onedrive, office365, etc.

        I had two experiences in higher education, one in UK where everything was Microsoft, and the current in Italy where everything is with Google and the Gsuite, jeez it’s like impossible to avoid any of that.

          Very good example of this. I forgot my older University used Google Suite for mostly everything.

    I’m trying to separate mail accounts between stuff (online shopping, socials/casual, work, personal) to see how it goes. Most of them go through a single client anyway but at least I know which account I have to read right away and which I can skip for a day or two. I’m going with ProtonMail for personal (banking, health, etc.), infomaniak for general use, and gmail (sigh) for work

    For sites that I don’t trust and some newsletters I use aliases with SimpleLogin.

    I have three domains with catchall. One personal, one thats not easily associated with me that is forwarded to my personal that I use for sites that don’t have to know who I am and one that is under a nick-name for FOSS stuff. The latter is only for special stuff and my own projects since I prefer to stay anonymous.

    Plus I have a special webmaster box for all the sites I host. (They can be reached under different domains, but they all forward to an account@my personal domain)

    I’m using temp-mail.org whenever I can, for non-temporary stuff I use SimpleLogin forwarded to my private e-mail address which I also use for personal contacts

    Recently started using Anonaddy aliases + my old personal e-mail which it’s still used on more important sites and for personal emails. 😁

    Oh, right, there is also outlook for school 🙄
