Encryption and hashing are different things. You can’t get the original back out of a secure hash. They’re used only to confirm that whatever piece of data you have now matches the one that was provided originally, because they produce the same hash. You can’t store hashes for any data that you ever want to be able to read.

e-mail hasing is viable if you are only using your email for sign in and account recovery. Unfortunately it’s not happening because every service would also want to send you periodical emails about other stuffs.

Yeah I want thinking when I wrote that. But the idea still stands encrypt the emails.
