Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.

If you give the address "[email protected]" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.

Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label ([email protected]), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.

Your "bare address" ([email protected]) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [email protected].)

Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.

In the first sentence, they pluralize either 'traffic' or 'email' with an s. One of the two; same issue.

It's so simple, but if my podiatrist can't spell 'appendix' properly I'm still getting a new doctor.

Email is a word that refers to both the system (defined by several RFCs, including the SMTP spec) and an individual message (an email). You pluralize them differently.

I checked my email today. (Refers to the system itself, like I checked the mail.)

I sent you two emails today. (Refers to individual messages, like I sent you two letters.)

So if you’re talking about specific, countable messages, the plural is emails.

Also, neither “traffic” nor “traffics” appear anywhere on the page, so I’m not sure what you’re referencing. Maybe you meant that as an example of a word like email as in the system of email.
