Whoever is getting started on the privacy journey, they must try out Email aliasing. Best choices are simplelogin and anonaddy. Even if you don't worry about privacy but get annoyed by the spam emails, you must start with this. It just gives a lot of peace and clarity. Here are my stats since I started using it: One out of every 3 email is spam. I can't even imagine myself living with those spammy notifications all the time. Thank you #anonaddy #privacy #spam #emailalias

#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.

@cienmilojos No aliases on the free tier, but for their paid tiers you can get 15 aliases for 3EUR per month, or 30 aliases for 8EUR per month (on sale for 3eur p/m for the 1st year).
But I'm just using the free tier and using #anonaddy for aliases. I generally keep a zero inbox and only save emails for a short time if they're important. I'm using the free AnonAddy account and it has unlimited alises but has a bandwidth limit of 10MB per month. If need be, I'll purchase a paid addy account.

I just released a new @thunderbird add-on which integrates Addy.io (a.k.a. AnonAddy) directly into the Thunderbird message compose window.
Now when you're writing an email in Thunderbird and you don't want to let the recipients see your real email address, you can easily route the email through Addy to keep it private.
Share and enjoy!

New Thunderbird extension: Addy.io / AnonAddy for Thunderbird
I’ve just released a new Thunderbird extension, “Addy.io / AnonAddy for Thunderbird“, which provides easy access to Addy.io functionality when composing email messages in Thunderbird. The extension mostly automates the process of replacing the recipient addresses of your messages–when you want to–with proxy email addresses that route through Addy.io, so the recipients will see an Addy.io alias for you instead of your real email address which you’re trying to keep private.
As I recently wrote, I’ve switched over to using Addy.io as much as possible when giving out my email address. I wrote this extension because I’m a heavy Thunderbird and this makes it easier for me to keep my email address private when I need to send email messages to entities I don’t want to have my real address.
The extension lives on GitHub, and you can submit issues or suggestions there. If you find this extension useful, please consider donating to support its continued development and maintenance. It takes a lot of time and effort to create and maintain Thunderbird extensions, and support is always welcome and appreciated. You can donate through Liberapay or Patreon for recurring donations, or Paypal or Venmo for one-time donations.

OK, so, I finally got to someone from #IdentityDefense on the phone, and apparently the reason why it's failing is because they can't match up the email address or phone number I gave them with what's in my #TransUnion credit report.
Note: I gave them a unique #AnonAddy email address and my Google Voice # instead of my cell #, for privacy and identity protection reasons. So, again, their site can't cope with people who are already taking steps to protect their online identities. Awesome! -

https://vimeo.com/ slightly limits what your account can do until you've verified your account email address. After changing my account email address to an #AnonAddy address, I've requested a verification email three times, and none of them have arrived.
EDIT: The emails never arrived, but I opened a support ticket and their support people marked my address as verified instead of fixing the address verification problem. 🤷

This is what happened when I tried to change my email address for my #PlaystationNetwork (#PSN) account to an #AnonAddy email address. I don't know whether this is specific to AnonAddy addresses or whether the address change workflow is broken in general. 🤷 I've said it before in this thread, but it bears repeating: web sites should not be blocking people from using anonymized email addresses for security and privacy reasons.

Over at #Cisco #OpenDNS (https://opendns.com/), when I enter a new login email address, it says it's sending me an email message to confirm the change, and indeed it does send the email, but clicking the confirmation link doesn't work. I tested this with non-anonymized addresses, not just an #AnonAddy address, so apparently this functionality is simply broken. Way to go, Cisco!
