Can you give me an example of who would be sending you emails with PGP though to your disposable email address and why?

I'm not referring about throwaway emails. I'm merely referring to email aliases.

Nobody will send PGP encrypted email to an alias email address. The email alias will route emails using PGP to your inbox.

> Sender (without PGP) -> Alias (with PGP) -> mailbox

Got it, that makes more sense and could actually make your inbox more private as the email provider won't be able to snoop into your emails to gather data to "make your ads more personalized".

I'll look into this now that it makes more sense, thanks for the advice!
