For those of you who use an email address with a custom domain name, like first@firstlast.com, do you use that email address for every online account you create? It seems weird to me to do that if the email address is also my professional address and the domain is used for my professional/portfolio website, but maybe I’m overthinking it.
I use theirdomain.tld@mydomain.tld for literally everything. They all go to the same mailbox, and I use filters.
I despise those companies that filter their domain or company name in the email address at signup and don’t allow you to do that. It’s rare, but some do. That being said - those are usually hardcore and can regularly be defeated by a strategically placed underscore or dash in their tld or company name.
I just had this with Samsung so did Smasnug instead.
I think I’ve only encountered one in the last decade, and yes, it’s easy to circumvent.
I follow the same scheme but I throw in random stuff to, incase I want a second account or extended free trials.
so we are doing it the same way ;) I only have tree mailboxes. My mailbox, Another for my system alerts, and one big cach-all box
