Does anyone have an email/account management setup they're particularly happy with?

Context: I've been doing some digital account deletion. I use the the pass password manager, and have done for years. I've recently been going through and deleting my accounts that I don't want to keep live (I'm currently down to 157 from a starting point of 212 (n.b. this includes passwords for personal tech systems and devices as well: raspi, routers, etc)). I've also recently setup a new personal email inbox that I want to maintain long-term for correspondence as a primary email address. I had been on protonmail which lakc of IMAP/SMTP support on the free version, and other limitations, made me want to mlve away from that. This has got me thinking about email accounts and/or email aliases associated with online accounts and how best to manage these.

I know many people have a process of using multiple aliases for online accounts, e.g. username+FINANCE@domain.com for all finance-related accounts, banking, etc. While other people often use a 'throwaway' email address as their login username email address (this can be an advantage in case of leaks of services in future that would expose email addresses; a'l throwaway login address as separate from main correspondance address would mean you could easily change-up if you needed to).

I've tried searching for good articles on the #indienet and elsewhere about these aspects of #passwordmanager and identity management solutions, but not found anything more compelling than often quite extensive processes (multiple aliases, etc). Anyone out there keen to share any good setups they've found for email/account management configuration? #email #pass

Every day now I come across something independent, creative, unique and interesting on the #fediverse the #smolweb #indienet #indieweb. It feels like an independent Internet is really flourishing - feels kind-of like the mid-to-late '90s, only now it's much more... accessible, findable, creative, politically interesting, artistic, informed, subversive, non-commercial, independent. In this moment it feels like the 'Net is *ours* and not theirs (corporates/states). #mastodon #gemini

@admin
Una indicaciòn/certificaciòn NoGAFAM, noTracking, noAds... Me lo pensé tambièn.
Pero en vez de definir por la negativa, dilo de una manera que da ganas de aceptarlo.
Yo sugiero:
#CleanSite
#SovereignWeb
#EuroWeb
#ThisSiteRespectsYou
#LibreNet
#IndieNet
#QualityWebSite
...

Queda el problema de profesionalizarlo. Cuàl es el tamaño aproximativo de la clientela? Una fracciòn de la Web de hoy...

About to fly to Belgium. Excited to meet the dev team in person and kickstart our collaboration with the City of Ghent to explore networked personal technologies that empower individuals to own and control their own place on the Internet.
