Thanks for another great presentation. I am definitely interested in redirecting junk and spam mail somewhere else as well as separating out my billing and shopping e-mails. Being able to add a false address and phone # are particularly intriguing to combat potential hackers and telemarketers. Since so many places use confirmation e-mails, I didn't know this was even an option.

Excellent video and breakdown on using an email alias for different purposes. I been wanting to do it for years and like your breakdown.

Great instructional video. I recall someone telling me that in cases in which they don't want to give out their normal email (thereby ending up with a lot of unrequested email) they use the normal account address they have, but they add a character(s) to the same email account, but it comes in with that character, not affecting the established email account. If I recall, a punctuation is used after the character. This way, they can scan for the added character and dispose of the email as needed and the sender doesn't have his true email address.

After watching two of your email security videos, I'm very much intrigued. Subscribed and looking forward to learning how to improve my privacy and security.

I wish I had a live person like you sitting next to me at my desk helping me along. I need to set up a new email address for my bank accounts but have no Idea what I'm doing!

I will literally rather live the life of a near-hermit and just plain not receive the newsletters, not participate in the interactions, not make the new friends, not buy from the new additional businesses, and so on.

Genuine question - trying to streamline own processes here

I love your channel and have taken many of your suggestions and implemented them. I do want to clarify though, Proton end to end encryption only exists from proton email account to proton email account. Emails to / from your bank, lawyer, etc. are not encrypted if they do not use a Proton account. Any non-Proton account to Proton email, or Proton email to any non-Proton account is not encrypted end to end.

This is really work but in the end I believe worth it. So question is there anyone that has any of your real email addresses other than family and friends? Do all your banks have aliases including Proton? I must say this is bad we have to do all this but this video is good stuff I’m learning a lot.

Thank you for this information. I am trying to transition and I like the idea of simple login, but you state that setting up aliases is for one time use. If you are using alias groups in simplelogin and they are being forwarded to another email account, is that other email account within simplelogin. For example, if I set up a psuedo account, where is that fake account (simplelogin or another email provider)? Please clarify.

Hey Josh, how's it going? As far as I know the end-to-end encryption in ProtonMail only applies to emails sent and received inside the PM servers (unless you are using PGP or some kind of pre-shared password). That means that when you send an email, for example, to your bank, unless their emails is also being handled by ProtonMail as a Message Transfer Agent (MTA), it is not going to be E2EE. Can you confirm that, or this is not the case anymore? Thanks!

While your proton mail inbox is encrypted, they store your private encryption key on their server, which means anyone who hacks their server will have access to that server's keys and associated inboxes. In addition to that, the end to end encryption only occurs between proton mail users, unless you're using the password protected email setting when you send to people who don't use proton mail. Proton mail also logs IP addresses, among other issues, so they're not particularly good.

I believe you need to do a bit more research since you seem to be very misinformed. They use PGP so anyone with your Public PGP key can send you an encrypted email and send it to you, only you with the private key can decrypt the email. Additionally, Look for their block on zero-access-encryption and you will see that what commented is not the case. Your details may be stored on the server, but all the data on their servers are encrypted-at-rest. To access your data you need to have your password. Unless they hack your account specifically, there is not a way to access your. Hope this helps.
