How do you handle email for prof and private uses? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I was using protonmail for my custom domain for work and private emails but now I think mailbox has better options, providing way more custom domain emails. Wondering what the best use case is? Thinking of using my own domains instead of proton. I have this one and my name.

Using [email protected] or [email protected] is fun and easy but is it private? These companies already know my name so is using my work website domain okay?

Current emails

[email protected] for prof
[email protected] example for money
[email protected] example for legal torrenting
No idea what I will use this domain for

proton owns a service called SimpleLogin, you can use it to setup and manage email aliases. What is mailbox?

Thanks!

Mailbox.org is a commonly recommended service beside Tuta and Proton. I was going to switch from Proton to Tuta to have more custom domain emails but it doesn’t allow service outside of its apps. Mailbox.org is cheaper and allows 50 custom domains :)
