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?
You must log in or register to comment.
I use a SimpleLogin alias and delete it once I’m done with it. SimpleLogin is a Proton service.
I love SimpleLogin, have my own gmail forwarding to an alias until I eventually get rid of it and have aliases for every site I need an email address for.
I use Simple Login a lot too. But be careful, as some sites reject these email addresses. Or in the case of Shell Recharge, change their business logic to reject the email addresses without letting me change to another email … Haven’t been able to log in for months 🙃
This must be why my personal domain stopped working
Do filters cancel a notification? If so you can send them to a generic folder that doesn’t notify you.
And if you don’t want to give them an email that matters consider simple login. It’s owned by proton and will give you a few addresses for free.
You can set notifications per folder afaik in the folder settings
FairEmail has per folder settings for things like notifications. I have email filtered into various folders on the server. They when my phone gets the mail in each folder it notifies me (or doesn’t) depending.
I use this and love it! I can’t remember whether it was a “FairEmail Pro” feature though (one-time donation to unlock pro features). Regardless it works great.
ProtonPass has mail aliases that work together with Proton Mail. I think they bought SimpleLogin some time ago. It could be a paid feature thought.
SimpleLogin gives you a handful of randomized aliases, while other services like AnonAddy and DuckDuckGo and Ironvest give you an unlimited amount for free.
When it comes to limiting addresses for free accounts, it’s pretty much just Proton and Mozilla that do it AFAIK.

Can’t you just redirect your emails?
