Many, I split topics logically over multiple gmail addresses which allowed me to isolate spam. I’ve also used throwaway sims for things like gumtree.com.au - there was a bunch of phone spam that hit the burner number so I’m glad I did that one.
Now I use two dedicated domains with catchalls which seem to work everywhere but gmail which should allow me to attribute and blackhole spam much more effectively. I really wish large providers (o365, aws) would provide low volume accounts for cheaper - having my company sales or procurements associated with my personal company email is silly, but the alternative is $4/month/account which really adds up but running your own mail server has it’s own time costs.
- chdaniel 7y agoSo how many do email addresses would you need to access if, say, you're on a vacation and you're using the hotel iMacs (or whatever desktops they have there). When you get a new phone/laptop/work computer/etc, do you set up all these 2/3/4 email addresses you actually use, making sure the display names and signatures are synced?
