Yeah, my main Gmail is almost 20 years old, it’s been leaked a ton, that’s the one I share with people. I have a Proton mail for the really important stuff like identity-related things. There’s still a bunch of services that have my Gmail as the main contact, and I’ve thought about going and meticulously changing them all to the Proton address, but it hasn’t been a problem thus far. Plus, having a firstname.lastname gmail address is convenient, and I haven’t found another service that I could switch to these days that will give me that same convenience (I’ve been gaining interest in self-hosting, so that’s on the horizon maybe)
I get surprisingly little actual junk/spam all things considered.
Ooh. 20 years is a long time. That’s understandable. Yeah, firstname.lastname email address is convenient and professional for important stuff. I have a own domain with my name for really important stuff. The rest of it, i use alias service like addy.io.
Didnt proton acquired simple login a while back. Easier to use them for email alias. I’d be wary to change all my account with my main email address. I dread the day that my email got leaked or something.
