#Email management, especially for #privacy & #tech minded people, can be a very personal thing. I’ve been refining my email setup over the last couple of years and I think I’ve landed on a system that works well for me. I’m curious how others handle it.
My setup involves three separate email providers, #posteo.de, #tuta.com, and #riseup.net. I also use a custom domain combined with a paid #anonaddy (now just #addy) account.
Tuta is for strictly personal stuff like banking, medical, and government accounts. Secure, no aliases, separate app, fully contained.
For Posteo and Riseup, I use AnonAddy aliases for everything else. Mail forwarded from Addy is encrypted with my PGP keys and decrypted client-side, and both Posteo and Riseup use server-side encryption.
Posteo is for things I actually care about, online accounts, family, friends, etc. Riseup is for online shopping, newsletters, and more disposable accounts (zero inbox).
I’ll admit it’s a bit convoluted, but it makes sense to me and has worked well so far. I’ve considered simplifying it, and maybe I will one day. I don’t need three providers, but I like keeping things isolated.
