I have one email for everything and use Fastmail.
Don’t make life complicated by using multiple emails.

#12I've been using https://mailbox.org and really like it.
I only disclose my actual email address to a few people. For everything else, I set up specific addresses such as shopping@, health@, bank@, etc using a domain I own, and all those forward to the Mailbox address and get filtered accordingly.

#13For 20ish years I ran my own mailserver, on a Debian box. All my mail was accessed directly via mutt/lumail, from beneath ~/Maildirs
Last year I trialed fastmail, but didn't like it, so now I'm paying for GSuite. I have two users setup - a domain admin, and my own "real" user.
I've been using unique addresses at my domain ("reddit@example.com", "lwn@example.com", etc) so I had to setup an address-map to get around the alias-limits. But that niggle aside I've been enjoying the way it all works out.

#15G Suite. Gmail is great IMO. I only use one account, and I have my own vanity domain.

#16I run my own server, using different addresses at the domain for each service I sign up with and also for each person I communicate with; all of them are set up as aliases to one account.

#17I gave up on self hosted mail about a year ago. It’s one of the best things I did for my nerves. Now I use Microsoft hosted mail. It’s $5 bucks a month, and it’s (probably) not as data mined than Google.
