I never really thought of this, but it's a good point. I'm beginning to trust Apple more to forward random email addresses to me.
> One of my concerns is that, if I were unable to renew my domain (e.g., in case of death), someone else could register it and start receiving my emails.
I also pay my domain name a few years forwards, just so in case I die, my family doesn't right away lose their email as well.
- XorNot 3y agoIf you die then someone has to receive your emails anyway: you're dead. Specifically the executor of your estate will probably need access in order to wind it up or direct things to next of kin.
- jonathankoren 3y agoIt it a good point? What’s the threat? How can you be “private” when you have a unique id associated with every email address? If you’re that paranoid, you might as well name your account bsuwbeu7262@gmail. But you could just have a goofball domain as well complete the du rigour registration privacy service all registrars support.
