A list of puns related to "Disposable Email Address"
Regardless of what yahoo does, they do provide an excellent service to keep all the non-important signups organised in a single inbox with their disposable email address feature.
Details here for anyone who is not aware of the service - https://help.yahoo.com/kb/create-edit-delete-disposable-email-addresses-yahoo-mail-sln28338.html
There are a few websites that I use such as banks etc. which do not allow use of email addresses with "hyphens". Some of the email addresses that I have in the past have definitely been sold to insurance companies, brokers etc. - hard to keep track and deal with customer service agents who are mostly far beyond the realm of people who makes such decisions to sell your email addresses.
Best control you could have is the ability to just delete the compromised email address and create a new one - all emails to the old compromised email gets bounced back to spammers.
Was wondering if anyone is aware of a similar service provider offering the same features with maybe a dot(.) instead of a hypen(-) ?
Would prefer a privacy focused email provider please.
Edit: typos
You can use free services like Temporary Mail to create an anonymous, disposable email address instantly.
Why YSK: They're perfect for signing up on websites which require email verifications, but you don't want to use your real email on. Depending on the service, the emails are automatically deleted after some hours.
So Yahoo Mail has a feature where you can create disposable email accounts: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/create-edit-delete-disposable-email-addresses-yahoo-mail-sln28338.html
It is superior to GMail's feature where you add a "+anyText" at the end of an email address, since you don't give out what is in front of the plus sign (your real email). In addition, you can create a new name and identity for each disposable email account. They never expire, and you can delete them and create more at any time.
My question is: is there any harm using this feature with a burner Yahoo account? For example, if my burner account is edwild22@yahoo.com, and I pick the keyword banana as my "base name", I can create up to 500 disposable emails all with a new identity, without giving out my burner Yahoo account details. An example would be to sign up for Reddit, I can create the mailbox banana-reddit@yahoo.com, give it a completely separate name and identity as my burner Yahoo account, and add a rule to send all emails received to that address go to a folder called Disposable/Reddit. I can delete it at any time, it never expires. This is a pretty nice feature IMO, as you don't give out your real email address (like Gmail's implementation of disposable email does).
Is my privacy compromised in any way using this feature from a burner Yahoo account that I will create just for making disposable addresses?
33mail is awesome! You make a username, lets say its ButtMunch. Then your email domain becomes @ButtMunch.33mail.com. So then you go to a website that you don't want to give your main email to, lets say its called "PenisPills.com", and when you sign up you give them the email address PenisPills@ButtMunch.33mail.com. Then when PenisPills sends an email to that address, it is forwarded to your main email, which they never know. Then if you don't want to get those emails anymore, you can just tell 33mail to block that address, and you'll never hear from PenisPills.com again.
You don't need to set up PenisPills@ButtMunch.33mail.com in advance, any address with the domain @ButtMunch.33mail.com will automatically be forwarded to you.
It really cuts down the spam. If a company sells your address you know it, because you assigned them a specific email, and you can just block that specific one.
Try 33mail now, thank me later.
I have enjoyed using my Yahoo Mail account for its:
But on Jan 1 2021 (less than a day from this writing), auto-forwarding will not be free anymore.
Do you know of another free webmail service with these 2 free features?
Gmail doesn't count, because although gmail lets you create unlimited number of aliases (e.g. username+variedpart@gmai.com), you can't delete an alias if it gets leaked to spammers, as you can with Yahoo Mail. Plus, your username is revealed when using gmail. Not so with yahoomail; you create a prefix that is not necessarily the same as your username. For example, your real yahoomail could be bobsmith@yahoo.com. One of your disposable email addresses could be woofw00f+shopping@yahoo.com
Mail.com has free aliases, but just a max of 10.

http://www.dispostable.com/ - Say you just need a quick file, or access to a forum for a quick answer, but it requires registration first. You can just use this, get an email, use it to "confirm", and then never have to deal with it ever again. I'm sure you guys can come up with many other uses. :)
I used my free time during Christmas and pushed a huge update to my latest weekend hack. It's a disposable email address service. Some of the main features are:
Specifically by using Guerrilla Mail. It creates a free, anonymous email that gets deleted after 60 minutes. It's perfect for signing up for a service when you need an email but don't want to give out your own email.
It's extremely simple to use and very lightweight.
I use it when I try out online games so I can test the game without getting stuck with an account.
Since quarantined subreddits now require you to divulge an email address, I think we should compile a list of sites that provide temporary anonymous email addresses for free, so that you do not have to divulge personal information just to view a subreddit.
Note: I haven't tried all these sites yet.

The worst and most ineffective leaders I have had were those who had to go out of their way to ask to be addressed, who demanded respect but didnβt earn it, and who never met the expectations they had of you. I dwelled on this for a long time to understand what this meant, and Iβve come to the conclusion that it boils down to balance. Bad leaders turn the dial all the way to one side of the military scale, but neglect the human aspects of their role. Good leaders can balance their personal life, their skills, and their relationship with their subordinates. Good leaders know when to demand respect, and when to let actions speak louder than words.
Iβve drawn the conclusion that the worst leaders Iβve had werenβt people who made me do things or who were harsh. In fact, Iβve had harsh leaders who were good. The worst leaders have been those who lead from an observation station and are never willing to reduce themselves or their egos to the level of their subordinates.
I hope that my leadership style for the last 8 years of my military career reflect the good qualities I have seen in leaders, and learn from the bad. Do you all have advice to add to these thoughts?
Just saw a post about a similar service that offers email addresses for 10 minutes before it going away, but with Dispostable you can choose your own name and hold on to verification emails or receipts in case you need them again soon.
I thought about writing an article or something for the 10 year anniversary (last October), but I'm too lazy. If reddit reflects the general public's level of interest for the last 8 years or so, I won't have to do much here, either
I noticed some users registered from a disposable email addresses, how do you handle these situations?
The "10 minute mail" services on the web of course are widely blocked and privacy-invasive. I'm specifically looking for this type of software for automatically expiring email addresses, it hasn't been convenient to manually generate and delete the addresses with clients such as Roundcube. Synchronization with my computer (using a hotkey to create a new mail address) is very desirable.
On a related note, what is the lowest price I can get a functional hosting plan for this purpose (I currently only have my professional domain)?
Looking for a disposable email service that will forward mails to my actual email address and preferably accepted by most websites (not blacklisted)
