I like to try websites out before tying my identity to them. How do you do it? Simplelogin? I honestly won't manually make a new gmail for every new website I try and I to want the option to see what emails I get.

But in some cases you don’t want to use arbitrary addresses, but the exact same that was used to send you an e-mail. For me this is necessary and Simplelogin hides my real e-mail address. Additionally, I can with ease deactivate addresses and minimize spam by a lot.

I can reply from ANY address from my domain including the exact one that was used to send me an email.

I can “deactivate addresses” by sending messages to a particular address straight to trash with rules.

Edit: turns out Fastmail has a masked addresses feature built in, separate from a catch-all. It’s basically simplelogin built in, if you want to enable it. Proton is looking more and more overpriced.
