Email is still functional and necessary so have to stick with that.
I what way? Are you talking about email lists or something like that? Please share some wisdom so I can think of email as of something more than just annoying spambox that corportations and governments use to spy on me.
Email is essentially only useful now when used with aliases. Even having a “spam email” can get your digital footprint linked to your identity and real contact info.
But otherwise, it’s still necessary for longform written communication.
I’ve always had a real email and a spam email. I only give companies the spam email. That thing is overloaded with garbage. My real email is actually pretty clean as a result. Unfortunately, my wife has on occasion gave my email out when signing up for things, so a few junk emails still get to me usually from that. I would highly recommend this practice.
All sorts of things are still useful with email, for instance my work sends my duty rosters to my personal email address (my preference so I don’t have to log into work when I’m off duty) I get a reminder for my car service, confirmation that my online grocery shopping has been picked and when to expect delivery, confirmation of orders I’ve made and delivery dates times, where I live we have a management company and they communicate to residents by email, some 2FA checks come by email, I still find these things useful & prefer an email rather than endless push notifications on my mobile if that’s an alternative, I don’t allow email to notify my mobile either, I just check the inbox a couple of times a day.
