No reason to tip your hand until a lawyer tells you to. For instance, the last time I dealt with a lawyer, they had me send responses directly, in hopes the other side would underestimate our position. It worked, fwiw.
Millions of Americans don't have e-mail. They're just on social media. What then?
That's why important things are always sent by mail. Very important things by certified mail.
If an email address can't be found, the correspondence can be delivered through other means if necessary (mail, process server, etc.). But generally, there has no longer been a need to waste paper and postage to deliver notices since email became practically ubiquitous.
Having, or publishing, an email address does not mean I care to, choose to, or will in fact receive email sent by you; or that I will display or treat it in the fashion you desire.
