*** PLEASE BOOST ***
I could use some feeback here.
I'm at a crossroads regarding choosing a new email service (again) and letting all my contacts know about a new address, or finally just going with hosting my own account to keep it consistent regardless of what service it's carried on in the background to avoid having to inform one and all about a new email address. I really like that idea.
BUT...
The problem is, while I have such a thing already attached to my personal website, "reay [at] reayjespersen.com" doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, or get easily understood on a call, or get input properly by others. I've had a lifetime of misspellings, and continue to get them literally weekly+ from various and sundry people. Such is life with a Dutch first name and Danish last name in an English-speaking country.
Then again, I've also had trouble with even way simpler email addresses (I'm currently reay [at] tuta.com) getting filtered to spam by people I've tried to contact, so it's not like there's any obvious answer to this.
Do I maybe rebrand myself and get a whole new URL to call home, which would mean losing my named site for primary email (or maybe outright, if I'm going to skip having multiple sites and just move everything to one), but for the benefit of going with something easier to remember and type?
Or do I just stick with the existing
[email protected] regardless of its finicky spelling and be done with it, and just accept decades more of repeating myself and misspellings and confusion anyway and not receiving things and getting shunted to spam?
Good, bad, and/or ugly: Please let me know your thoughts.
