      For users of Gmail, I can confirm this works and you can even set it up so that address+nameofshop goes to a folder called “nameofshop.”

      You can also apparently add a dot anywhere before @gmail.com and still receive the email. I haven’t tried this one, but the last time I mentioned this someone said it was part of the email standard, so presumably it works.

      I don’t know of tricks specifically of this vein for proton mail, but I do know you can setup a catch-all address so, for example, something addressed to [email protected] goes instead to [email protected].

      I’ve not tried SimpleLogin, but apparently it offers similar functionality.

      I didn’t know that actually. They can still deduce your actual email address from that, but for the identification of the culprit that would work as well.
