Funny, considering I've moved over to a paid proton account as my primary email, and my former primary email/Gmail account, with its ability to instantly become infinitely many disposable email addresses, is now used as exactly that. This same procedure occured many years ago, when I made my yahoo email into the disposable junk mail home, and my shiny new Gmail became my primary. I wonder how many years it be until proton becomes my disposable, and some as-of-yet to be created service becomes my new primary email. Or maybe email will finally be dead by then, and we'll use something else entirely.
I will say, even after all of these years, and using the living shit out of my Gmail account in many, many places, I still only get two or three spam emails at most during the entire year.
No, you very likely get way more than that, they're just filtered out.
This. I get tons, but almost none of them actually hit my inbox.
Wouldn't OP see them in the Spam folder? If they say they get 2 spam messages they probably mean that.
Yep, mail to the spam folder is what I mean.
fr I deleted like 70,000 emails over this past week so you know this guy is lying to seem cool.
Same, gmail now means garbage mail and only acts as a filter for my Protonmail now.
