Should I create a new email?
I'm wondering whether I should create a new email address. My email address is very non-anonymous, as it's basically firstnamelastnamenumber@… I'm not sure if I should really do it. I don't really know what will happen if I do it. Do I just create a completely new account, like I would if I were to sign up for Gutefrage, for example, or do I have to enter my current one and replace it? Is that a big deal? I now have a Google account that's managed by my parents via Family Link. Is this information important for something like this? And is it normal to create a new email address?

Yeah, that’s normal, I’d even say it would be negligent to have only one mail address.
With new mail addresses, it depends on what you do with it.
For maximum anonymity, I would recommend Anonbox.net.
This page is accessible via the gateway network, it can only receive a single mail per created address and the address along with this one mail will be deleted after 24 hours.
For example, I recommend Proton for best data protection, as a free basic or as a paid premium variant. All your mails are encrypted at the end-to-end.
For ordinary purposes, I would create a new Google account, then you also have a new Gmail address.
Of course, other mail providers are also suitable for all these purposes and there are much more purposes. You could also set up your own server with your own mail address, but I have the feeling that this is technically a bit too demanding.

I have three email addresses.
1. Email For very important emails to authorities. This is my name and intended only for important contacts
Two. Email for less important but reputable things like application. Right name.
3. Email for unimportant things like online shops etc.
I pulled out the separation due to the spam-mail danger.
To the last point, I have 5 emails, so from that, is normal to have more than one

but if you start a new gmail account, don’t you create a google account?
Thanks for the star
Yeah, you do.

So making a new Gmail address is completely normal I think I have now 7. That’s not a big thing, and if you feel safer, you can make it easy. And with most pages you can change your email afterwards so here too
Since I have 23 pieces 😅 this is ok (but only use 4)
