Avoid using personal email for sensitive matters. For such data, switch to secure messengers such as simplex (npub1exv…d828) , Session or Eement (Matrix).
2
Use aliases to create disposable, forwardable addresses that mask your real one
3
Self-host your email e.g. with Mail-in-a-Box

Use Tuta
if you have no other option (avoid ProtonMail; they've been compromised, see [1])

Avoid Big Tech like Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo
6
Maintain separate email addresses for different activities (work, social media, financial etc.)
7
If possible, encrypt sensitive emails with PGP

Avoid Webmail to reduce exposure. Use K-9 Mail or Thunderbird.

Don’t tie your email address to personal identifiers
