thanks

Hey @GPSLeo thank you for sharing this wish. Is the primary concern the volume of emails and notifications from a moderator perspective? If this is the key problem you'd like to solve, I am curious what other solutions you've considered exploring? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 15:46, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

The problem I want to solve is that I have one mail address for automated notifications that I do not want to use for regular communication. But currently if I send a Wikimail to someone they see and respond to this mail address. The purpose for this is also that such mails are often more important than the notifications and I want to set different notification rules on my device. GPSLeo (talk) 13:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

OSM does it better

OpenStreetMap allows using one email address for logging in and a completely separate one for communication. It is a significant improvement in cyber security because even if malicious actors hack into some admin's correspondence email address, they will not be able to access the admin account itself.
