Who of you are using WEB3 Email service(s) ?

I am not.

Please give me 1-3 good reasons why I should start to study and use it.

Sort:  

1- Since web 2 emails like Gmail are the most used email service, it is also the most targeted by hackers

2- If you use gmail as your email service, you probably use Google's other services, so if you're hacked, you could have more information than you expected obtained by hackers

You can solve these mistakes by using a lot of accounts if you want, using each one for specific things, this reduces the chance of you having too much information leaked at once.

i came across such service in web 3.. it was called D-mail..

Doesn't make sense to use when it cost TX to send a message.

I am using ethermail......

I have the same Mail and same Mobile Number since I was 14, just using aliases and forwards if a use case arises.

E-Mail is never decentralized, due to the protocol restrictions. It is a distributed system of which you can always be locked out. Google has a massive Monopol on blacklist management as far as I can tell. You're account has to hosted, an E-Mail Server needs to be reached, a DNS has to be used. Those Web3 Mails are mostly just selling you E-Mail aliases and rebranded access to a big DNS provider.

There are Darknet web Mailer with decent protection and they are immune to DNS problems, at least mostly. There's even a Dark Net Protonmail version.
