Shared email

Maybe I'm missing the obvious, so please help!

I'm wanting to set up a shared email (in addition to our personal ones) for me and my partner. Basically I'd like better visibility of the bills - as so much is emailed now. Plus general stuff, we're wedding planning so a fair few suppliers, historically solicitors for mortgage stuff.

Not loads of stuff. But I'm fed up of people being incapable of replying all, so one of us (normally me) misses out on the email, has to chase the other to see if we've had a reply, or if something is sorted. Plus with gmail, we can have a shared calender...so many benefits. I suppose I see it as a natural next stage to having an organised life knowing what the other is doing.

Anyway I'm rambling.

But my partner disagrees. He doesn't want a shared email. No real reason why....probably doesnt like the idea of a [email protected] email address
Just he seems to think there is a better solution. Except he hasn't actually offered one.

So is there a better solution?

If not, any ideas instead of the harryandsally email. Or thesmithfamily@ ones.

What do other people do?

We disguised our joint one so it’s not obvious it’s shared and it is just for household stuff. I have 2 personal ones, one for generic crap and one I set up for job hunting.
