What did you do with semi-trusted emails? - midwest.social

Curious for any input on this - I want to finish migrating off the gmail I’ve had since 2004. I’ve moved everything vital, utilities, banks, financial services, doctors, vets, etc, to proton. But what about spammy or untrusted services, or general e-commerce? Think sweetwater, etsy, newegg, etc. I could create an alias in proton, but I really like being able to have notifications on for the proton mail app; if someone emails me there it actually matters. So, I don’t want to lose access to these services, and I don’t want to give them an email that matters. Do I need another provider? Is there a better solution?

I use a proton alias for any online shops that I use regularly and I have a folder set up for any emails to that alias with notifications off.

For one off/untrusted things I use simplelogin, I have proton unlimited which includes unlimited simplelogin aliases. So each of these websites gets its own alias and if that alias starts to get spam I either turn it off or delete it.

You can also add a mailbox in simplelogin so I added my proton shopping alias to that, this way all online shopping emails go to one folder with no notifications and my main proton shopping alias isn’t completely ruined with spam since I can delete any simplelogin accounts when needed.
