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?
I had 2 main ones, but they also got emails from one of my old accounts, for technically 3. But I just moved to Proton mail, so now I’m trying to stick with one + aliases. I’m hoping to keep it this way 😤
How do you like it? I was thinking of going that route, especially with their Easy Switch tool.
I actually really like it! It’s much more organized and I don’t feel overwhelmed having to look through and remember different accounts. And the alias feature has been amazing. Much simpler than making a temp email address. Setting it up wasn’t bad and they walk you through forwarding and all that stuff. I had 2-3 Gmail accounts before the switch and I honestly won’t go back, even if Proton vanished tomorrow.
