Only use temp mails for unimportant, one-shot account, otherwise use an email relay.
Ok any tips on how to manage email addresses to minimize their exposure and spam?
Yeah, use an email relay service like Firefox Relay, SimpleLogin, the one from Proton if you have an account with them (that's SimpleLogin behind)…
You can create email aliases, that will relay the email to your main address. Create a new alias for each website so they can't use your email address to correlate your identity and you can close it anytime, you can even configure an alias to only allow a set amount of messages and auto-close afterward.
If you use iCloud mail (I don't), they have an email relay service, too. They call them "email aliases."
Addy.io gives you email aliases as not to expose your actual email address. Everything gets funnelled into a single inbox of your choosing still. And the great thing is that if you use a unique email alias for all services, you know instantly who leaked your email address if you start getting spam. :D
Don't give out your email to spammers. Most legitimate businesses might send quite a lot of mail, but it's very often easy to unsubscribe so do that.
No shit Sherlock. The real cause of spammers getting your email is through data breaches. The only thing you can do about that is not use your personal mail address for every single website you create an account for.
