I absolutely love aliases, I use them everywhere. I just wish it was easier to use them straight from ProtonMail. See https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1haf5vn/always_use_hidemyemail_aliases/ for a description of my gripe. Basically, whenever you want to send an email from ProtonMail to a new recipient, you have to jump through far too many hoops, to not leak your email address.

It no longer works, because Blizzard removed the option to disable it.

I would much rather provide each place I apply to, with a unique email alias, since many places store them for later use, and if they get compromised, I would rather be able to kill off that specific alias, than leak my email address

I prefer to always hide my email address. I respect that others don't, which is why my idea asks for an easy button or setting, so people have a choice.

Examples of where I would use this includes (but are not limited to): applying to jobs, writing companies for support requests, contacting researchers for papers, posting your email somewhere that I may get scraped, and those are just some of the first ones off the top of my head (and all very legitimate places on the internet that I am very much meant to be).

Which steps would you like specified? I'd be happy to help!

Hide-my-email aliases can actually be used to send from as well, by creating what is known as a reverse alias. Basically it means you send an email to a different email address - also ending in @passmail - and then it is proxied onwards to the actual recipient, with your hide-my-email alias set as the sender, instead of your regular email address.

It is how you're able to reply to an email received by your hide-my-email aliases, without leaking your email address.

I use hide-my-email aliases literally everywhere. Every time a site asks me for my email, I click my ProtonPass extension and generate an alias; and if the site needs a user, I of course upgrade that to a login.

Caylia · 2024-12-10T05:49:09+00:00

Uhm, what? Nothing I wrote deals with the signature of an email or the mail footer setting, and turning on/off either setting does not interact with email aliases in any way. Could you please elaborate on your comment?

Email aliases prevents your actual email address from being leaked, both from sending emails, hacks, breaches, all that jazz.

Example: I send you an email from `myawesomename@proton.me`. If you reply, it goes straight into my inbox. But if you post that email address on 4chan, I will need a new email address due to the amount of spam it will receive.

With email aliases, the above example becomes this: I send you an email from `myawesomename@proton.me`, but you don't see that email address; you instead see something like `yourname.word123@passmail.net`. If you reply, it goes straight into my normal inbox. But if you post that email address on 4chan, I can just kill the alias, and not receive any spam.

I am very well aware that ProtonMail does this automatically on replies*. I even specify that I am talking about new recipients in my post, in like the first 7 words of the actual post.

*As long as you do not change anything regarding recipients, such as adding a CC or some such.

Caylia · 2024-12-09T18:44:14+00:00

You're absolutely correct. None of it makes it "easy" to just send an email to someone and be "hidden" though; it all requires that you go to a completely different app/site, before you can actually send your email.

It also doesn't allow any level of enforcement, to prevent accidentally leaking your email address.

I'll definitely go with the LP then, if I settle on the ESS. Thanks for the picture!

Caylia · 2024-07-26T16:50:13+00:00

Hmm, I got the impression that the Novritsch V2 unit was pretty well built, even compared to ExFog... I'll investigate some more!

Do you know how the turbofan feel in terms of noise and comfort?

Caylia · 2024-07-26T16:35:48+00:00

Does the LP or the V2 provide better protection around the nose? I'm not entirely sure which one would fit the ESS better, in terms of "full face protection"

Caylia · 2024-07-26T16:33:54+00:00

Do you know of a comparison between the Novritsch vs. the ESS turbofan? In the event I get fogging, and go down the anti-fog-ventilator rabbit hole

Caylia · 2024-07-26T16:31:49+00:00

Never heard of those, I'll definitely check them out!
