+## Why this email address?
+I use [inbox.lv](https://www.inbox.lv/) because when I created this website I wanted an email dedicated to it and not use my personnal protonmail address. I put this email address directly on the main page of my website so it's doomed to receive spam from so called "web designers" and all that because of their crawlers.

+Sure instead of directly writing the mailto link I could have put sam(dot)hadow(at)inbox(dot)lv. But it just stops the very basic crawlers, the RegEx in the crwler just needs to be modified a bit to also spot these email addresses. The only "good" solution against spam would be to have a captcha. But this solution would require having a service running on my server just for the captcha and possibly require the clients to run JavaScript. So I prefered not to have a captcha for the mail.

+And why this specific provider? I just had the following needs:
++ IMAP/SMTP access with only a free account
++ registration possible **without** providing a phone number
+
+Both needs were fulfilled with [inbox.lv](https://www.inbox.lv/), but apart from that, do I recommend this mail provider? No. Why?
++ mails aren't stored encrypted unlike with tutanota or protonmail.
++ with the free account you are automatically subscribed to mailing lists which are just spam (ads in Latvian). I manage to filter them out with a rule in thunderbird. But it would be a huge downside if you're reading your mails from your phone or the webmail.
