great article mr. Ansari & I agree with most of your point of view, had the same kind of issues before. one suggestion: why not consider an email provider that is safe and private, also super user-friendly? As far as I'm concerned, Tbh with everything going on nowadays, I would not trust yahoo or google anymore. I personally use Mailfence , also for my business... cheers'!

I know. I was very reluctant to go with Google once again, but the amount of features Gmail provides is almost incomparable. Besides, this was just the first of my two planned activities with my email accounts (I realized it as soon as I was close to settling with Gmail once more), I have rough plans to totally move to a "secure" email provider and have already tried Tutanota and Proton mail, but will stay with Google for at least a few more months as I have a lot of other big things lined up in the pipeline.

Thanks for your pointer around Mailfence, will give it a look and add it to the list of candidates when I migrate my email.

Nice article! I like the idea, but usually i prefer having one account for sensitive services (bank account) and another for all the rest. With all the recent data breaches you are never too cautious :-)

That is true. I wish I could have a setup like that. Given the number of email services I have created a dependency on all these years, I don't see an easy way to combining all into one at least without losing contact with services and people who may still be only aware of my abandoned accounts. Even with my current setup where everything is accessible from a single login, the final result is that all spam, notifications and important emails end up in the same inbox, which I have no solution for yet. It is still a struggle to keep the inbox conversations list as low as possible so that I do not miss anything important. Having said that, it is still way better than what it was before :)
