Email

The idea is simple:

Don’t mix everything into one inbox. Separate based on importance + spam risk + career use.

1. PERSONAL EMAIL (Most Important)

This is your safest and most protected email.

Use it for:

• Bank accounts
• Government services
• Aadhaar / passport / ID systems
• Insurance
• Tax / legal documents
• Password recovery for other emails

Rules:

• Do NOT sign up randomly on websites
• Keep it private (only trusted usage)
• Never use it for spam, apps, or coding platforms

Security setup (VERY IMPORTANT):

• Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) (Google Authenticator / Auth App preferred)
• Use a strong unique password
• Add recovery email + recovery phone
• Turn on login alerts
• Save backup codes offline (not in email itself)

This is your “digital identity email”

2. GENERAL EMAIL (Everyday Use)

This is your normal internet email.

Use it for:

• Social media (Instagram, Discord, etc.)
• Shopping websites
• Apps and subscriptions
• YouTube, newsletters
• Random signups
• Personal communication

Rules:

• Expect spam here (it’s normal)
• You can create filters/folders to manage noise
• Don’t connect this to government or banking stuff

Security:

• 2FA recommended (but less strict than personal email)
• Good password still important
• Can be used on multiple devices

Think of this as your “internet identity email”

3. PLACEMENT / CAREER EMAIL

This is your professional + career-focused email

Use it for:

• Job applications
• Internships
• LinkedIn + GitHub
• Hackathons
• Resume contact
• Company communication
• Referral requests

Rules:

• Keep it clean (no random spam signups)

• Professional format like:

  • firstname.lastname@gmail.com
  • firstname.dev@gmail.com

• No funny usernames

Security:

• Strong password
• 2FA enabled
• Regularly check inbox (very important during placement season)

This is your “career identity email”
