Re:You might not need to store plaintext email addresses

Well, first of all, I have 5 email accounts that I regularly use.
One of those uses multiple domains (it's an iCloud account that I registered way back in the iTools days, so it supports @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com....possibly even @itools.com, not sure about that one).
I regularly use a + extension to the addresses that support it when I'm signing up somewhere that I don't 100% trust, and that allows arbitrary additions to the address. And I don't always remember what version of a site's name I will have used (eg, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc).
I recognize that I'm an outlier, but trial and error is completely infeasible in this scenario.
