Your contact email (not login email) strategy? I'm figuring out my overall email strategy (using Proton Mail), and contact email is still unclear for me. How are you handling contact emails (NOT login emails)? My main concerns are: govt mass surveillance, Big Data/data broker, bad actors, in that order. My general approach: * I don't want to volunteer extra information, more than whats already out there. So won't be using my full name as part of email addresses, anywhere. * Want to either silo completely (separate email for each login) or strategically compartmentalize -- so if someone knows something, they don't know EVERYTHING. What I think I've figured out so far: * Govt logins: [govt@genericword.com](mailto:govt@genericword.com) (as I want this to be portable to me, and govt knows my PII anyhow, so I don't care if they know my domain name) * Banking logins: Still on the fence with one compartment-wide Proton alias (banking492f1@pm.me) or a domain alias (banking@genericword.com) or individual Proton Hide My Email alias for each login. * All other logins: Proton Mail Hide My Email aliases (all stored in 1password) * One time use email: Throwaway email service Still unclear about: * Personal friends/family contact email: ??? * Contact email for people who know me as a person (accountant, HOA board, dogwalker, etc): ??? * Online contacts or classes where my email will be listed somewhere:???? My considerations: 1. Coming from the anonymity of gmail, it just feels so exposing to needlessly plaster my custom domain when sharing my contact email with people or a directory list (obviously, unless i'm doing it deliberately like a business name). I've liked operating under the cloak of the masses of the anonymity of a gmail address. 2. For Proton, if someone knows ANY of my alias addresses, they can use it to login. So if my contact email is: [imjordan@pm.me](mailto:imjordan@pm.me), then that can be used to login to my proton account.
