Hey, This is purty good and quick No slant.
I’ve been reading 1440, and definitely think you’d enjoy it as well. It has all of the day’s top news and info—sports, science, culture, politics, business, and more— in a concise and impartial (and free) 5-minute morning email. I learn something new every time I open it. Check out the #1 newsletter for unbiased news here:

I had heard of them and wondered if they were legit.

Thanks Bama! I joined.

I’m wary of giving anyone my email. Do they spam? Do they sell the data? If the news is “free” what’s the catch? I like the idea though.

Create a throw-away free email account someplace like gmail.

What? Check more than one email address for mail every morning? I don’t have time for that! I’ll count on all you 1440 subscribers to keep me updated.

I had a gmail backup account. Big mistake. My email went literally everywhere. I closed it and de-Googled myself. Not an easy thing to do.
I think I’m going to get a Proton email or something more secure.

That is why I called it a throw-away account. Single-purpose use. If it starts getting spam after a few weeks it can be safely dumped, along with stopping email from 1440.
If you really want to have more control, go to hover.com (among other providers) and buy a domain name (no need to have a web site at that name.) Then create an email account that forwards to your regular email account.
For example, suppose you buy nddons.com for $10 and create a forwarding email of nddons@nddons.com to your regular email account. If the new alias attracts junk then you can either remove the forwarding or change it to something like nddons1@nddsons.com. You have your own domain and an effectively unlimited number of aliases you can cycle through. If you need multiple email aliases at the same time it costs $5/year per alias.

As usual, the most effective way to have more than one email (probably Jim’s method) is the most work.
I have a gmail account I hardly ever look at, and do use it occasionally when I don’t want to give out my main address. When I tried once to set up a second gmail address as a throwaway, it wouldn’t let me disconnect from my other gmail account. Google is all about finding you wherever you go online, and converging it into one picture of you. They must use IP addresses or something. I hate this.

I despise Google because of stuff like that. Apple is almost as bad. So is Microsoft.

I create random throw-away emails for companies that require an email. Then on those emails I set receive to bounce to my regular email. That way I just check one email server. When I get too much spam I just turn off the bounce. shampoo, rinse repeat.

That’s why it seemed so hard to close out my Gmail account. They were like a leach.
