My experience with email in general has been so exhausting. This year I finally set up a new email address at a custom domain (with * catchall), but what I've found is that I'm afraid to give it to anyone. Right now I'm using it to communicate with like 3 people and it feels so nice.
I may use the * in the future for custom emails for groups of concerns (jobs@domain or applications@domain, hn@domain, banking@domain), but I'm worried it will just add to the heaping mental overhead I already experience when working with email (what was my address I use for this again...?, etc). I can't help the feeling that it's just a matter of time before it starts to look like my original email account where even unsubscribing from things seems like a labor of Sisyphus, but this time with the added noise of it going to an email naming system I've lost control of.
- stevewillows 6y agowith my catchall, I use one address per site. If they sell it off or whatever, I block the old one, update it on the site (e.g. hn2@blah.net) They're all tucked away in your password manager anyway, so there isn't any effort or tracking needed. I've had this system for about two years now and have yet to receive any junk mail with the new domain.
