personal on iCloud: for communication with friends and family
3 mailboxes on personal domain, with pretty much an alias per company
for buying
for personal stuff
for career-related stuff
The personal domain mailboxes are the oldest and were set up to deal with spam. I use aliases to protect my email addresses from junk mail. If I start getting a lot of spam on one alias, I know which company has been compromised and I can just delete the alias without impacting emails from other companies.
The only problem with this setting is when people ask me out of the blue "What's your email address?" as I don't have a default one. [Note to self: need to add one]
Nowadays junk goes straight to the junk folder so maybe I don't need this so much.
I have five.

how do you get personal email domain?
It's a normal web domain I got from gandi. All their domains come with mailboxes. I only got it for the email accounts, I don't use the website.
