My first mail is when I was 9 years old, hotmail mail was back then done by my Uncle

Shifted all of my accounts (including Facebook back when Zuckerberg has his face on the login page) and it got doxed with spam mail due to MySpace breach in around 2006-2007. Deleted it around a month ago still didn't get hacked or anything but it is kinda useless

Now I use Gmail and emails from domain providers but trying to use an alias instead of the real thing (my first gmail got included inside of the breach for Aptoide that happened a couple days ago but luckily I moved all of my accounts to a different mail so it is also kinda useless but kept it with 2 factor authentication)

And for anyone who is interested, I don't keep all of my accounts entitled for more than 5 years, they get shifted to a different mail so that if a breach occurred and this mail is included then I wouldn't care much (thought I use a password manager and all but safety is key)
