I would personally recommend the equivalent of [email protected], which is the format I use. I agree with your assessment — to me, emails like [email protected] and [email protected] seem a bit too playful or informal. I like to use one email address across all the services I use, so something that is completely neutral is key. Hard to get more neutral than [email protected], in my opinion.

The benefit to [email protected] is that it helps reinforce the fact that this person is, indeed, emailing you, and no one else. [email protected] would probably work in most contexts, but to me it adds a layer of ambiguity — when I see that, I have to think twice and make sure that there's no one else who would be receiving this email ("is this really going to John, or is there a dedicated support person answering emails?"). This is less problematic when it's someone's personal site, but for small businesses where it's really not clear whether there might be a support staff responding to emails, I then have to look it up and potentially resort to omitting a name in the salutation of my email, or writing "Dear John Doe Support", or something similar. Not optimal.

Lastly, I live in America but have a non-American first name, which gets misspelled a lot. Having to type my first name twice in my email address helps reinforce the spelling, leading to less awkwardness for the other person.

There is no 'best email address'. There are only options, with little to separate them beyond personal preference.

[email protected] and [email protected] are both popular, although generic addresses carry slight disadvantages over named addresses such as [email protected], namely:

• A generic address may attract more spam than an address using a name (because spammers tend to target common catch-all and enquiry addresses like [email protected]). This may not be a problem if your friend has good spam protection, like Gmail's.

• A generic address may be blocked from mailing lists that your friend wants to join (because popular newsletter services like MailChimp reject addresses that sound like they might forward mail to multiple recipients, such as [email protected] and [email protected])

For those reasons, it's probably best to use [email protected] even though it would repeat the name, or [email protected] if you feel uncomfortable with the repetition for some reason.
