So you got a "primary Email" that has no spam but no Mails either because no one knows of it's existence? You could just do the very same with one mail address and a few filtering rules, you know? Besides: the best way around this are randomly generated Mails you use for one service only like duckduckgo.or Firefox relay will give you

If you want to email me, you can tell my private secretary, who will write down your message and send it to my personal email address.

He also doesn't know my personal email address, but we have a cryptographic system where he, a trusted anonymous randomly-chosen person (rotated weekly) and the president of Albania can all input their credentials and have the email sent to a proxy email which will forward to my personal address.


In unrelated news, why do I always miss my doctor's appointments?
