Except typically when you do receive an email, it's a more important message and is more likely to contain important attachments or other information you need to retain vs messages via social media/ online messaging services, even if it's from friends/family.
Worse, not scanning your junk email regularly can lead to missing key information that you've been sent.
The current situation in general with how messaging is done online seems far from ideal, but it's hard to see too many good ways forward. Logically though if there were a reliable way to track who you've given out your details too, it should be possible to simply block messages that aren't from such sources.
- tut-urut-utut 4y agoImportant email just doesn’t come suddenly anymore. Nowadays people will just message me to check my email address before sending an important email, although it didn’t change for years. And then, they’ll message me to ask if I actually received an email. So no important private mail gets lost ;) Or I just receive booking confirmation minutes after booking. Even if I don’t read it or save immediately, it’s still there in inbox ready to be searched for and found if needed. The only exception is business mail, but there I usually communicate only with people from my company or my address book, so there’s no spam problem there.
